Since Serum’s launch, a crazy amount of music makers have shown it a huge amount of love and support. We can safely say that it has become one of the leading synths among music creators. But this does not mean it’s perfect. The bad part? It doesn’t come with a lot of stock presets. There is enough to kinda get started but that’s where this resource helps you.
In this post, I compile the best free presets for Serum for ALL MAJOR genres of electronic music + a bonus section for PAID Serum presets.
Future Bass Serum Presets
Future bass is relatively new and directly comes under the EDM genre and it offers warm bounces instead of harsh beat drops. Harsh and detuned synths make the future bass basslines. People often confuse it with trap music but there are significant differences between both. With these presets, it’s your time to shine and unlock new levels of creativity.
