Serum 2 is in the works, DMG Audio is also involved!

Serum also changed the game and the music industry

LOL

What's so funny? It's one of the most used synths in the past 10 years.

Could you explain precisely how it changed the game industry? Does it create lootboxes? Or did it make PBR possible? Maybe it invented battle royales?

I know Steve Duda has mentioned on his Discord server that he’s been working on Serum 2 (which would be a really boring name. How about the Serquel? Or maybe something that’s not just a lazy portmanteau) but he’s not said much about what it might look like. I had got the impression that it was going to be quite different to S1 though. I think he said something about not just wanting to release a new version for the sake of it.

Serum was my first synth (like for many of us

I would have thought that most our first synths were cheapo Junos and sh101s. This just proves how ******* old I am.

Steve is one of those people who wants to make good stuff not for making profits, it in his DNA and I respect it more than anything else.

I sincerely hope that this is not true. There is absolutely nothing wrong with aiming to make profit. I would not want him to starve just so we can have good stuff. It should be a win win.

It was a game changer and it changed the music industry. Maybe that’s the sane thing.

And he didn’t put the words game and industry next to each other.

Clumsily written but obviously not referring to ways to exploit gamers’ pockets or new fight paradigms, no? I don’t like games don’t know what PBR is.

Ah, I see what you mean. Cheers!

But in another thread someone has just said that U-he changed the industry and then I have also read somewhere that Sylenth changed the industry and then now you are saying that Steve Duda changed the industry. Who really changed the industry I need to know

I am in the industry.
You are in the industry.
We are in the industry.
This is the industry.…

All good

And by “ I don’t like games” I mean I want to like them but I’m so bad that I don’t usually bother as it makes me anxious.

Except for the 2 Portals which I actually finished. Not sure what’s different about them.

[Modular Manfred]

On a serious note, I for one (who is not in the industry, and has never changed the industry) would be more excited for LFO Tool 2 news. Just the usual aspects. Better looking flat UI but with maintaining its original minimal aesthetics. No fancy convoluted stuff added like in other envelope shaper plugins. Perhaps improved filter models like on Cytomic level with optional oversampling so it could still remain zero latency if needed and of course CV out to modular like in Reaktor Blocks.

I believe they meant, “…changed the game, and the music industry.”

Punctuation matters.

Even with correct punctuation it's still , every popular synth is touted as an industry-game changer by it's fanboys .
Serum is just popular nothing more nothing less ,but shaking the music industry on it's fundaments ? .c'mon wake up

It's been a very popular synth, for sure. It's sounds really have been in countless tracks.

Like Massive before it, it's definitely imparted a sonic footprint into a lot of electronic music.

“Time is just a joke, change is all that we understand.”



The “industry,” is obviously in constant flux. There have definitely been some “cornerstone” synths in that process. I’d say that Absynth was definitely one, at least the first one I was aware of. I’d put Diva and Sylenth1 in there, definitely. Serum… sure. It was the first synth to have a built in way to turn audio files into wavetables. It’s now so commonplace that one could tend to forget that, but I’m pretty sure, when it came out, nothing else had that, or a wavetable editor that was as good. Another “game changer” was the interface. Again, often copied, but it really was the first one that did a way with pure skeuomorphic artwork and went for a very flat design with a brilliant drag-and-tweak system.
