As you have learned from this blog, Serum can pretty much look like anything you want!
So, if you want to make it look minimalistic, easy to navigate around virtual instruments, don't look further and get SERUM 98. You will feel back in the '90s with the simplicity that characterized the era!
Now, what if you come from a "Massive" environment? Easy! Go download the Massive Skin from Entity & Zaneth. Once you activate it, you will think you are in fact using Massive when you are actually using Serum. Perfect mixture.
And, for my Ableton Live friends, no worries, I got you. If your Serum VI does not look as you would like it to appear, simply load the Ableton Skin by Nasko, and automatically you will believe Serum is one of your Ableton stock instruments.
