AZS Halcyon for Serum Vol. 3 is a bank of 101 presets for Xfer Serum from Resonance Sound, and the Black Friday deal takes 60% off, bringing it to $12 until Dec 6, 2026.
This volume works with two Serum features that earlier Halcyon banks did not have: the scream filter and the sine-shaper. The maker says that makes Vol. 3 broader in scope than the volumes before it.
The pack covers 101 sounds, sorted into deliberately simple categories:
Every preset has modwheel and macro assignments. Demo music, MIDI files and an Ableton project are included too.
The bank is organised by sound design technique, not by genre. The maker describes three approaches running through it.
Wavetable synthesis supplies moody, swirly pads. Pitch drift and saturation give the vintage-synth flavor. Careful filter and distortion combinations produce the up-front, pushy modern sounds.
The maker says the sine-shaper adds a lot of character when it sits after pre-filtering. Distortion used with restraint can give rich, expressive results.
The sounds are built to hold their ground in a busy mix, or to act as a foundation in sparser arrangements. Serum's engine keeps them clear and defined, according to the maker.
Yes. The assigned macro controls let you push a preset from a subtle change to an extreme one without opening the full Serum interface.
That makes the pack easy to tweak in the box. You can dial in a pad's movement or a bass's grit from a handful of knobs.
You need Xfer Serum v1.345 or later. The Ableton Live project file requires the latest version of Ableton Live.
The presets load inside Serum, so any DAW that hosts Serum can use them. The Ableton project is an extra for Live users.
