The AZS Halcyon for Serum Vol. 2 Black Friday deal comes to 60% off this Resonance Sound bank of 114 Xfer Serum presets, which brings it to $13.58 until Dec 6, 2026.
Halcyon Vol. 2 follows Aiyn Zahev's first Halcyon bank for Serum. The idea is to show how much range the synth has beyond the growly dubstep basses it is best known for.
The bank still has plenty of aggressive material, distorted and mangled by FM. It also covers deep digital ambiences, silky pads, powerful trance leads and unusual but musical FX.
The pack holds 114 sounds in total, plus MIDI:
The maker says all of it is royalty free.
The maker draws on gear both current and past. Wavetables and static waves have been a staple of synth sound design for decades, and the bank leans on Serum's precision for the digital pads and ambiences.
The leads and plucks come from the other side of the engine. Serum works as a slick virtual analog synth too, with dense oscillator stacking and its effects section. For the basses, a little FM and a bit of distortion do most of the work.
The maker says the sounds are level checked, so patches should sit at comparable volume when you audition them. Almost every patch has either a Modwheel or a Macro assignment, which gives you something to move straight away.
The pack also includes macro control allocation and modwheel allocation, listed as features in their own right.
The only system requirement is Xfer Records Serum. These are Serum presets, so the synth has to be in your signal chain to load them.
Yes. The Black Friday deal takes 60% off, which puts the pack at $13.58 until Dec 6, 2026. That price covers all 114 Serum presets and the 54 MIDI files in the bank.
It has 114 Xfer Serum presets: 8 ambiences, 28 pads, 27 basses, 25 leads, 14 plucks, 7 FX and a handful of chord and sequenced patches. You also get 54 MIDI files, split into 23 musical parts.
Yes. The listed system requirement is Xfer Records Serum, because the pack is a bank of presets built for that synth. Without Serum loaded in your DAW, the patches have nothing to run on.
The range runs from FM-driven aggressive basses to deep digital ambiences, silky pads, trance leads, plucks and unusual FX. The maker says almost every patch has a Modwheel or Macro assignment, and all are level checked.
