FREE Serum presets for Techno and Melodic House


Serum Synth VST plugin

If you’re looking for the Ultimate List of Free Serum Presets for your Techno, Melodic Techno, or Melodic House tracks, then I’ve got you covered!


FREE Techno and Melodic House Serum Presets at a glance:


Serum by Xfer Records is simply an incredible synth. It's amazing versatility means that you can create pretty much any sound within it. However, if you’re a beginner to sound design, or simply don’t have the time to learn how to program your own patches from scratch, then using and modifying existing presets is a great way to save time.


In this article I’ve gathered the best free Serum presets for your Techno, Melodic Techno, and Melodic House productions. All these presets have been downloaded and personally tested to ensure they are worth your time.


How to Install Serum Presets


Installing Serum Presets is really straightforward. Here's how to do it:

  1. Open Serum. Navigate to the Menu option and select "Show Serum Presets folder".

  2. Windows File Explorer (or Finder for Mac) will now open at this location.

  3. The file structure shown under the Presets folder is mirrored in the Serum Presets Menu.

  4. Now locate your downloaded presets (They will have a .fxp extension).

  5. Copy them across to your Presets folder using whatever folder hierarchy you want.

  6. Using the Menu option again, select the "Rescan folders on disk" option.

  7. Enjoy your new presets!
