03In depth

Pluck sounds from warm to aggressive

The pack's 170 presets cover a broad tonal range. According to LP24 Audio, the plucks run from the warmest to the wildest, lightest to heaviest, and from serene and beautiful to rough and dirty. That range gives you options for both soft melodic lines and harder, more distorted leads or basses.

The pack is aimed at producers working across electronic music. LP24 Audio lists house, pop, hip hop, dubstep, electro and chillout among the genres where plucks are commonly used, so the presets are not limited to one style.

Macro controls for shaping each pluck

All four of Serum's macros are assigned to parameters that control the shape and impact of each pluck. This means you can adjust the character of a preset from the macro knobs without opening the full synth architecture.

The pack also includes demo sounds, with the exception of kick, snare and hi-hat, which can serve as a starting point for your own arrangements.
