Synth guru Francis Preve returns with a new collection of Serum patches, continuing his focus on essential and truly useful presets. Serum Toolkit Volume 2 puts the emphasis on iconic sounds built around a variety of synthesis techniques including analog, FM, vector and LA synthesis.
In addition to spot-on recreations of classic synth patches that are perfect for synthwave and retronica applications, Volume 2 includes 40 analog sounds based on samples from Preve's collection of vintage gear. Historic synths like the SH101, SEM and MS20 are all included as integral parts of these patches, imparting lush organic warmth and grit to the massive sound of Serum.
Punchy basses, smooth pads, crystalline bells and fat leads are all present in this pack of 100 presets, along with an array of rhythmic elements and vintage percussion effects to round out the package. As with the original, the main macros offer versatile control of elements like Spectrum, Subs, Filter, Envelope and Effects. There are also specialized macros for FM and vector synthesis that allow for quick edits - regardless of skill level - so if you're already a fan of Volume 1, you'll be right at home with the new edition.
