The Main Stage Techno Vol. 1 Black Friday deal takes 60% off this Serum 2 preset pack from Resonance Sound, bringing it to $11.98 until Dec 6, 2026.
It is a Serum 2 preset pack for peak-time techno. The maker describes it as a collection of the most explosive sounds from that end of the genre, from commercial saw leads to hard industrial kicks.
The pack holds 64 Xfer Serum 2 presets, 57 WAV samples and 20 MIDI files. The maker also mentions 50 signature samples and 25 ready-to-use MIDI files in its description, so the two lists differ slightly.
The presets break down like this:
The MIDI files are there so you can drop in a part and start building straight away.
The maker lists four areas. Aggressive hard techno basses and PSY rolls. Euphoric melodic techno leads, stabs and miscs. HyperTechno offbeats, hard screeches and festival synths. Fast piano house sounds and melodic plucks.
That spread runs from hard, offbeat-driven bass patterns to bright, hands-in-the-air melodic material, so one pack can carry the drop and the breakdown of the same track.
Every preset was made from scratch in Serum 2, and the maker states there are no imports. Each sound ships with full macro and modwheel assignments, so you can reshape a patch without opening the oscillator and filter pages.
Many of the sounds come from Level 8's own techno releases. According to the maker, those tracks have racked up more than 100 million plays, appeared across numerous curated playlists such as Main Stage, and found their way into sets at big festivals.
The 50 signature samples were pulled from those same tracks.
You need the latest version of Serum 2, with a minimum of v2.0.22. The product contains Xfer Serum 2 presets and select bonus samples.
Not every sound in the audio demo is included. The maker says drums and FX heard in the demo, for example, are not part of the download.
