01Overview

AZS Halcyon for Serum Vol. 2 is a preset bank built for Xfer Serum. Resonance Sound describes it as a follow-up to Halcyon Vol. 1, extending the same Serum-focused approach. The bank covers a wide range of styles, from aggressive FM-distorted basses to ambient digital pads and trance-style leads. Each preset is level checked, and most include Modwheel or Macro assignments so you can shape the sound in performance. The pack also includes a set of MIDI files that match the audio demo, which makes it easy to hear each sound in context.

Sound Range and Character

The pack spans several sound families. Its 114 presets include 8 ambience sounds and 28 pads, 27 basses and 25 leads, 14 plucks and 7 FX, along with a handful of chord and sequenced patches.

Resonance Sound says the bank draws on both current and older gear, using wavetables and static waves as core ingredients. Basses lean on a bit of FM and distortion, while the leads and plucks come from dense oscillator stacking and Serum's effects.

The bank is useful if you want a single Serum library that covers both aggressive sound design and softer, atmospheric textures.

MIDI Files and Macro Control

Halcyon Vol. 2 includes 54 MIDI files, divided into 23 musical parts and labeled in order of appearance. These match the sequences heard in the audio demo, so you can load a part and hear how a preset behaves with that musical material.

Almost all presets have Modwheel or Macro assignments. This gives you direct control over key parameters from your controller without digging into the Serum interface.

The MIDI files are a practical starting point when you need an idea to begin a track.
