The single most referenced third-party synth in trap, rage, drill and plugg. Serum 2 rebuilt the original around five oscillator engines covering wavetable, sample, multisample, granular and spectral synthesis, and added an arpeggiator, a clip sequencer and flexible effect routing. It anchors countless shared project files and is the flagship of the Splice rent-to-own catalog.
