No it's not. It is very light. How much CPU load (your DAW meter) do you have with the init preset playing a single note?

It's heavy when you are on the granular synthesis...and when you are playing multiple notes...

Multiple notes in the granular engine? Do you use presets?

Granular engine can be heavy with those badly made presets. Those preset makers didn't have a clue how to be efficient.

Thanks 🙏 BTW I was purchased Serum 2 when it was released. And it's a great synth for sure!

Sadly, pretty much unstable on Wine + Linux + Yabridge... modulation drag doesn't work well and tooltips have a lot of artifacts. GUI hangs are pretty much frequent... :(
