The addition of the scream filter and sine-shaper to Serum allows Halcyon Vol.3 to be broader in scope than any of our previous volumes. Distortion, when used carefully, can lead to rich and expressive sounds. The sine-shaper in particular, when combined with pre-filtering, yields an abundance of character. The 101 Xfer Serum presets within this pack have been designed to stand their ground in a busy mix and provide a rich foundation for all compositions.

Rather than focus on a genre, the sounds in this bank vary more by sound design technique. Wavetable synthesis provides moody, swirly pads, pitch drift and saturation provide the flavour of vintage synths, and careful filter/distortion combinations allow for the up-front and pushy contemporary timbres.

The precision offered by Serum’s engine ensures a clear, defined sound. Changes can be introduced to the presets, from subtle to extreme with the assigned macro controls.

Halcyon Vol.3 contains 101 presets ready for you to use out of the box or add your own twist to.
