The Serge HAS undergone all kinds of changes.
The early filters especially have been called dirty and grungy, the new ones are
very clean.
In addition to adding the BLOG, PDIV, and other modules, Rex has done a lot
'under the hood' to clean up & improve various modules... in some areas the
designs are different, in others the parts used are better. Certainly the
craftsmanship is of a higher caliber now.
One funny thing about the Serge I've noticed is, it sounds very different in the
hands of different musicians.
I think the Serge has less of a distinctive sound than a Moog or Arp - more of a
mysterious character.
