Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hate audio tools. While we, the aging population of hardware synth land, can only be awakened from our arthritic slumber by Swedish lifestyle product rage bait or the announcement of too-big-to-fail analog flagships, the flourishing software synth demographic just had a Steve Jobs keynote-like moment.

Today we are going to talk about XFER SERUM The Second Coming edition so synth manufacturers - be prepared to get humbled by a true musical and technical visionary with a history of working with the Nine Inch Nails , unique 21st century marketing skills and a sense of integrity that has become a rare feat among successful business people.

The “sound of the late 2020s early 2030s” this is going to be so true lmaoooo 😂

[davidosolo]

Such a nice gesture of Xfer to make the upgrade free. They didn´t forget about the first time customers who made them who they are now.

[i_never_asked_for_an_alias]

Nice to see that you actually still can "buy" software and get upgrades even for free for it, instead of this subscribtion limbo some big companies are in.

[snesmocha]

Ngl this was one of the funniest out of nowhere product launches ever

My old workhorse synth becomes my new workhorse once again! God bless Duda. In a world of companies draining every penny you have, it's nice to actually get a REAL free update, especially such a powerful one.

Hey Florian…its so nice to see how happy you are making your YT videos….it really makes my Friday way better. Thanks for being so awesome man. Sincerely Sid

[lookingforamuse]

Wow now this really is the "grabs popcorn" edition. Epic.

[-Deena.]

My favourite things about Serum 2 are the shadows under the knobs and the 19" rack style layout. That's what does it for me. Brilliant.

[jordimoraguesmassanet]

That finale was amazing! And the last statement, man, hits the nail on the head.

[myautobiographyafanfic]

I love how your Serum-played intro sounds like it could have come off any subtractive synth.

[KordTaylor]

“Your inner Rick Beato” You are awesome. 😂😂😂

[Rhythmattica]

That Lo pass Joke, Beer through NOSE! GOLD!

[rsa]

This episode is pure gold. The "old man" intro, the well-placed memes, and the sick jams makes this perfect. The finale's visuals cracked me up too 🤣 Happy weekend!

[dannabass]

Went and got it as soon as I started watching this. Thank you Audio Pilsner.

[fakshen]

It's a flex to say that you don't need any return customers for the next product. Daddy Duda just throws you a brand synth if you bought the old one... not even $5.

[BatsintheBellTower]

The noodles in Blade Runner looked pretty nice man.

[matthewadunlap]

Its impressive how yellow that Oxygen 8 keyboard has become

[AceGarpTruckingCo]

My brother in Christ, you have truly outdone yourself
