The Dark Trap Life Vol. 1 Black Friday deal covers a soundset for Xfer Serum from Resonance Sound, 60% off at $9.18 until Dec 6, 2026.
It is a Serum preset pack aimed at trap beatmakers. The sounds lean dark and atmospheric, with an aggressive, mysterious edge.
The maker says the team spent months in the studio on it and analysed the beats of producers like TM-88, Metro Boomin, Hit-Boy, The Alchemist, Wheezy and Mike WiLL Made-It to capture their signature sound.
The pack holds 64 Xfer Serum presets and 25 MIDI files. The presets break down like this:
The maker describes the palette as gritty 808s, basses, washed-out bells, pads, leads and plucks. Resonance Sound also says it recreated some breakthrough anthems and included those presets.
The 25 MIDI files drag and drop straight into your DAW. Pick a preset, drop in a file, and you have a starting idea on the timeline.
The maker says this is meant to get the vibe right quickly, so you can build your next project around it.
Resonance Sound says the pack fits beats in the style of Drake, Future, Travis Scott, Big Sean, Lil Uzi Vert, Kanye West and 21 Savage.
The maker also says versatility was a priority. According to Resonance Sound, the sounds are not limited to dark trap and work in Pop, EDM, Dubstep, Future Bass and Hybrid Trap.
These are Serum patches, so you need Xfer Serum v1.344 or later. The maker states that the pack contains Serum presets only.
The drums heard in the demos are for demonstration purposes only and are not part of the pack. If you want to use the presets in a DAW, load them in the Serum plugin on a track, then route the output through your usual signal chain.
