One of its key features is the ability to import your own audio to create custom wavetables and custom sounds. From Xfer:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe 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 \u2018go deep\u2019 when desired \u2013 to create\/import\/edit\/morph wavetables, and manipulate these on playback in real-time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Serum also has some of the cleanest oscillators out of any wavetable synthesizer. The digital resampling occurring in wavetable synthesis means artifacts are created all the time. Serum has a built-in way of suppressing these artifacts for the some of the best-sounding wavetable synthesis out there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Omnisphere 2.6 by Spectrasonics\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spectrasonics.net\/products\/omnisphere\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44837 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Choosing-Software-Synthesizers-for-Your-Home-Studio_3.jpg\" alt=\"Choosing Software Synthesizers for Your Home Studio_2\" width=\"800\" height=\"462\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Choosing-Software-Synthesizers-for-Your-Home-Studio_3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Choosing-Software-Synthesizers-for-Your-Home-Studio_3-600x347.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Choosing-Software-Synthesizers-for-Your-Home-Studio_3-768x444.jpg 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Choosing-Software-Synthesizers-for-Your-Home-Studio_3-80x46.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Choosing-Software-Synthesizers-for-Your-Home-Studio_3-320x185.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Choosing-Software-Synthesizers-for-Your-Home-Studio_3-294x170.jpg 294w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Choosing-Software-Synthesizers-for-Your-Home-Studio_3-260x150.jpg 260w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Choosing-Software-Synthesizers-for-Your-Home-Studio_3-770x445.jpg 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Choosing-Software-Synthesizers-for-Your-Home-Studio_3-40x23.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Choosing-Software-Synthesizers-for-Your-Home-Studio_3-160x92.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Choosing-Software-Synthesizers-for-Your-Home-Studio_3-20x12.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Choosing-Software-Synthesizers-for-Your-Home-Studio_3-640x370.jpg 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Choosing-Software-Synthesizers-for-Your-Home-Studio_3-731x422.jpg 731w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Choosing-Software-Synthesizers-for-Your-Home-Studio_3-589x340.jpg 589w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Choosing-Software-Synthesizers-for-Your-Home-Studio_3-17x10.jpg 17w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Choosing-Software-Synthesizers-for-Your-Home-Studio_3-519x300.jpg 519w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Choosing-Software-Synthesizers-for-Your-Home-Studio_3-16x9.jpg 16w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Choosing-Software-Synthesizers-for-Your-Home-Studio_3-385x222.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spectrasonics.net\/products\/omnisphere\/\">Omnisphere<\/a> is one of the most complete software synthesizers ever.
