Starsky Carr’s taken Serum 2 and crammed it full of vintage synth attitude—Jupiter-8 brass, Prophet-5 grit, and enough Juno chorus to drown a disco. With a Max for Live chameleon skin, he matches old-school architecture, not just waveforms. If you think all softsynths sound the same, watch this before you slag it off in the pub. This is not your dad’s Serum.
