03In depth

Sounds Included in the Pack

The pack contains 64 presets spread across eight categories. The largest group is 16 plucks, followed by 13 synth patches and 10 basses. There are also 7 pads, 6 bells, 5 leads, 4 chords and 3 sequences.

The mix gives you building blocks for a full arrangement. Basses and plucks can anchor the low end and rhythmic layers, while pads, chords and leads fill the harmonic and melodic space. The sequences are useful as starting points for rhythmic motion.

Plugin Boutique Presets describes the sounds as hard-hitting and suited to dancefloor-oriented music, from dense club settings to larger venues.

Using the Presets in Serum

Because the presets are made for Serum, you load them directly in the synth's preset browser. Serum's wavetable, modulation and effects sections remain fully editable, so each patch can be adjusted for tempo, key or arrangement.

The pack is a good fit for producers already working in Serum who want to speed up sound design. Presets can serve as a fast starting point, with the wavetable oscillators, filter and modulation matrix open for changes once a sound is selected.
