Hey Xfer, hopefully you'll see this, because as of this moment. Serum 2 is completely useless for me.
I'm using Ableton Live Suite 11.3.42 in Windows [Version 10.0.22631.5472], and for the sake of bug fixing, I'm only using keyboard and mouse.
The issues:
1:
When removing Dots in LFO display, Macros will delete themselves (

The only thing I did here, was randomly place a dot, and then delete it again, but it can in some situations also happen if you manually move the dots around.
2:
I made a sound in Serum, and wanted to test out Serum 2 and make a similar sound. My Serum sound has automation on Fil Cutoff and Course pitch for OSC 1. (

From the Images here you can see that I've duplicated the Fil Cutoff into Filter 1 Freq (annoying with the name change btw).
All I did here was simply select (by pressing coarse pitch inside Serum 2, that I wanted to also automate my course pitch. This results in the Filter 1 Freq being deleted and replacing it with Device On, but it could just as well have been Mod 6 or Mod 9 (this is completely random)
These two bugs render Serum 2 completely useless, as building with macros, and/or using automation to modulate the sound afterwards can simply delete itself simply by pressing a button inside Serum 2.
What I've tried to fix this issue:
Checked for the newest version of Serum 2 and updated
Reinstall Serum and Serum 2 completely
Cleared all caches
Cleared all local data
Tested on another pc (same issue) ,
Moved the path for both Serum and the Serum preset folder.
Extra info: It doesn't matter if it's an INIT or preset, It doesn't matter if I use Wavetable, Multisample, Sample Granular or Spectral, It doesn't matter if it's OSC A,B,C,Noise or Sub. It doesn't matter what filter is used, it doesn't matter what is mapped to the macros, it doesn't matter what is modulated, neither from the OSC or FX view, it doesn't matter if I use Good, High or Ultra quality, it doesn't matter if S1 Compatibility mode is active, it doesn't matter if Disable Smoothing is on or off, the user interface parameters doesn't change the issue as well (And no, I haven't selected reset on Double-Click), the error persists throughout Serum 2 for literally anything that can be modulated.
So for now I'm stuck in Serum 1 (which is still an awesome VST), but I would very much like to actually use the new one.
