Serum is a wavetable synthesizer plugin by Xfer Records, available in AU, VST, and VST3 formats for use in digital audio workstations like Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Studio One, Cubase, and others. It is widely used in electronic music production, hip-hop, EDM, and sound design for its advanced wavetable manipulation, morphing, feedback and filter modulation capabilities. Serum ships with thousands of presets and supports custom wavetable creation. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSerum is a plugin, not a standalone application—it updates through Xfer Records' official installer, not through the Mac App Store or a generic vendor download page. Xfer Records has shipped native Apple Silicon builds of Serum (in AU, VST, and VST3 formats) since version 1.50 beta. To update to the native build, download the latest installer directly from xferrecords.com/products/serum-2 (or xferrecords.com/products/serum if you are on Serum 1). The installer will serve the native Apple Silicon version on M-series Macs automatically. After installation, your existing presets and settings carry over without manual migration. If you are running an older DAW or host application that still runs under Rosetta, ensure your DAW itself is updated to a native Apple Silicon version first—that is what allows Serum to run natively inside it.
