The Tropical House for Serum Vol.3 Black Friday deal takes 60% off this Resonance Sound preset pack, bringing it to $9.18 until Dec 6, 2026.
It is a bank of 64 presets for Xfer Serum, and it follows earlier volumes in the series. The maker describes it as a mix of this year's summer sound and traditional Tropical House.
The 64 presets are split across ten categories:
Plucks make up the biggest group by a wide margin. On top of the presets you get 22 MIDI files.
Those MIDI files are the ones used in the demo. Drag them into your DAW, load a preset and you have a working idea straight away.
The demo drums are not part of the package, so you bring your own.
The maker points to Serum's Noise Oscillator as the way several of the sounds are built. Carefully sampled instruments such as marimbas, guitars, vibraphones and even vocals are mixed in through it.
That lets you layer those textures with the usual wavetable oscillators in one patch.
Every preset has maximum Macro and Modwheel assignment, according to the maker. You can shape a patch from the Macros or ride the Modwheel while you play, without opening the matrix.
The palette the maker lists is waves, marimbas, guitars, uplifting melodies and smooth pads. Resonance Sound says it spent months studying producers such as Kygo, Robin Schulz, Thomas Jack, Sam Feldt and Matoma while building the set.
You need the Xfer Serum synthesizer, version 1.121b4 or later. This is a preset pack, so it does not run on its own.
The presets arrive in the Xfer Serum preset format, and the MIDI files are standard MIDI.
Tropical House for Serum Vol.3 is a bank of 64 Serum presets built for summer-ready tracks in the tropical house style. Load a pad, a pluck and a lead from the list above, drop in a MIDI file and you are working inside the signal chain you already know.
