Serum

Serum has become the most popular software synthesizer in electronic music production since its release in 2014. Its key innovations include a visual wavetable editor where you can draw, import, and morph waveforms; a drag-and-drop modulation system that makes routing intuitive; and a clean, CPU-efficient sound engine. Serum features 2 wavetable oscillators, a sub oscillator, a noise oscillator, and a comprehensive effects rack. Its preset ecosystem is enormous, with thousands of third-party preset packs available for every genre. Serum's visual approach to synthesis makes it an excellent learning tool for understanding how parameters affect sound.
