The company gives out free assets around GDC as promo, but I don't think it's from GDC.

Surge isn't a replacement for Serum, but the original developer cofounded BitWig. It's probably the best sound you'll get out of a Linux-native synth. You can even use Serum waveta…

The best percussion I've ever had came from TAL-NoiseMaker. There's a Linux port. https://www.kvraudio.com/product/tal-noisemaker-by-togu-audi... LMMS also has its own percussion s…
