The Serum Presets (100 Sounds):

Engineered to leverage Serum's capabilities, these presets deliver a potent blend of aggression and atmosphere. Expect biting basses, expansive soundscapes, driving sequences, and impactful effects, all designed with a consistent control philosophy.

• Core Macros: Every preset features Drive, Tone, Motion, and FX/Space macros for predictable and immediate sound shaping.
• "NIHIL" Mod Wheel: Assigned uniquely per preset, this morphs the sound in dramatic ways – warping textures, intensifying distortion, or shifting rhythmic elements.
• 4 Additional Macros: Offer further deep-level tweaking potential specific to each sound.

Preset Breakdown:

• 45 Sequences: Propulsive rhythmic foundations and distorted melodic patterns.
• 23 Pads & Soundscapes: Evolving, dark atmospheres ranging from tense underscores to overwhelming washes.
• 20 Impacts, Signals & FX: Hard-hitting transients, glitchy effects, and unique transition elements.
• 12 Bass & Lead: Cutting, aggressive low-end and piercing lead sounds designed to command attention.

Requires Xfer Serum version 2!

The Sample Pack (100 Sounds):

Get instant access to the Nihil sound palette with 100 high-quality WAV files. These samples are directly derived from the core character of the Serum presets, providing intense textures, impacts, drones, and one-shots ready to be dragged into any DAW or sampler. Useful for quick layering, sound design building blocks, or for producers who prefer working directly with audio.
