Melodic House Techno Serum Presets: 50 Presets and 112 MIDI Files

The 50 presets are split across arps, basses, chords, leads, plucks, stabs and synth pads. House of Loop describes the arps as arpeggiated sequences meant to add movement to a composition, and the basses as deep, resonant lines for the foundation of a track. The lead presets are described as expressive sounds meant to cut through a mix, and the plucks as bright, percussive melodies for adding sparkle to an arrangement.

The stabs are short, rhythmic accents, and the synth category covers pads and textures that build a wider atmosphere. Because the sounds are grouped by role, you can pick a bass or stab for one part of a track and then move to a pad or chord patch for another without auditioning the whole pack.

The bonus folder holds 112 MIDI files. Use them to audition the presets in a melodic context, or as a base to edit rhythm and note choices so the patches fit your own arrangement. Since the files are separate from the presets, you can swap in different patches while keeping the same MIDI idea.

Because the pack requires Serum, make sure the plugin is installed before loading the presets. The total download is 428 KB, so it adds very little to your sample library.
