![Xfer Serum VST](https://i0.wp.com/rhinostar.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Serum.png?resize=300%2C282&ssl=1)
The dream synthesizer did not seem to exist: a wavetable synthesizer with a truly high-quality sound, visual and creative workflow-oriented interface to make creating and altering sounds fun instead of tedious, and the ability to “go deep” when desired – to create/import/edit/morph wavetables, and manipulate these on playback in real-time.
Effects rack with 10 effects modules lets you get your sound all the way to the finish line inside Serum. Effects can be re-ordered to any configuration you want. Virtually all effect parameters are also available as modulation destinations.
This is especially useful in monophonic synth sounds. For example, apply an LFO to control reverb size or dry/wet, or velocity to control distortion amount.
Many of these effects and modes were built just for Serum, so there are many unique effects to choose from, such as Hyper, which simulates (additional) unison amounts, or a dual-waveshaper which allows for a distortion you can morph between two separate wave shapes.
Serum comes with over 450 presets, 144 wavetables.
Available as VST, AU, AAX 64bit.
That’s it for now, based on our community of producers these are the best 5 synths for EDM. hope it will help you to choose your right sound this year.
