AZS Serum Classic Trance Black Friday pricing puts 60% off this 180-preset Serum bank from Resonance Sound, bringing it to $12 until Dec 6, 2026.
The bank is built from sounds inspired by trance tunes from around the turn of the millennium.
It runs on xfer Serum 1.368 or later.
It's a Serum preset bank, so you load it into the synth and play. Resonance Sound aimed for tones that are classic in character but still sit in a modern mix.
Serve a clean oscillator into the filters, EQ, distortion/clipping and dynamics section, and that's where much of the vintage character comes from.
The focus is on the core sounds of a production: basses, leads, pads and plucks. A few digital vocal-like patches, plus a handful of drum and FX sounds, round it out.
The 180 presets break down like this:
The maker notes that many patches cross categories. A pluck can double as a bass, and a bass can work as a pluck.
Serum has a basic sample playback oscillator, and the Resonance Sound team used small single samples through it to widen the palette in key areas.
Stereo waveforms and noise are layered in as well. Some waveforms are reminiscent of classic digital wave playback (PCM) synths.
Where it makes sense, presets have modwheel and velocity assignments. Many also carry macro assignments for tone variations and effects mix, so you can reshape a patch without opening the matrix.
MIDI is included to spark ideas and help with the creative process.
The maker positions the bank for EDM producers, whether you're working in the modern classic trance resurgence, modern melodic techno (which often borrows retro trance sounds), or anywhere in between.
Yes. The Black Friday deal takes 60% off this Serum preset bank from Resonance Sound, bringing it to $12, and the offer ends Dec 6, 2026.
You get 180 Serum presets: 36 basses, 33 leads, 33 pads, 18 plucks, 47 assorted sounds, and a handful of FX and drum presets. Included MIDI is there to help spark ideas during writing.
The bank requires xfer Serum 1.368 or later. It's a preset bank for Serum, so you need the synth itself to load and play the sounds.
The maker says the presets draw on trance tunes from the turn of the millennium. They use Serum's filters, EQ, distortion/clipping and dynamics section, plus single samples, stereo waveforms, noise and PCM-style waveforms.
