Serum presets for modern drum & bass

The exact signature sounds from hit records by Chase & Status, Sub Focus, Wilkinson, Hedex, Dimension, Bou, Macky Gee, DJ Hazard, SOTA, Primate, D*Minds and more. Re-created in Serum with precise envelopes, serial drive, and calibrated unison so they load, balance, and cut like the records you know.

What’s inside

• Bass & Reese – foghorns, growl/neuro mids, rollers, pure subs; mono summed fundamentals that survive heavy limiting.

• Leads – Hoover/Juno stacks, sync leads, rave calls for call and response hooks.

• Plucks & Stabs – FM plucks, organ/m1 style stabs for skippy patterns.

• Pads & Atmos – widescreen beds, tension drones, noise-textured tails for breakdowns.

• FX & Risers – pitch risers, downlifters, sweeps, impacts, turnarounds.

• Arps & Sequences – MSEG driven gates for intros and mid section builds.

• Bonus – Demo MIDI files included. Fast idea starters, fully editable.

Built for music production

A focused Serum bank for drum & bass at 170–176 BPM rollers, jump up, neuro leaning mids and liquid pads. Source level gain staging and harmonic placement ensure quick blends with breakbeats, 2 step tops, and clipped masters.

Sound design architecture

• Purpose-voiced wavetables with musical LFO/MSEG rates (1/8–1/64, dotted & triplet) and phase aligned starts for consistent transients.

• Serial filter drive → distortion → multiband comp for weight and sheen without muddy low mids; pre-EQ leaves space for the kick.

• Protected sub path: sine/triangle fundamentals, no unison, fixed phase; key tracked filters for clean crossover to mids.

• Transient noise layers tuned for pick/air; velocity maps accent shuffle.

• Macro control set (up to eight) for Drive, Grit, Movement, Width, Space, FM Amount, Formant, Noise Mix—designed for real-time arrangement moves.

• Glide/legato calibrated for DNB phrasing and pitch drop fills; unison spread set for wide tops with coherent low end.
