Tropical House for Serum is a pack of 64 presets for Xfer Serum from Resonance Sound, and the Black Friday deal takes 60% off, bringing it to $9.18 until Dec 6, 2026.
It is a soundset for the Tropical House sound: catchy melodies, mellow pads, Kalimbas, pianos and smooth guitars. The maker says the patches were inspired by producers like Matoma, Sam Feldt, Felix Jaehn, Seeb, EDX and Kygo.
The preset count breaks down by type:
Beyond the presets, the pack ships with 25 Noise OSC samples and various wavetables. Those samples feed Serum's Noise Oscillator, which is how the maker turned real pianos, guitars and even vocals into patches inside this VST.
The MIDI side matters for speed. The maker says the pack includes 50 MIDI files split into melody, chords, bass and more. Its feature list gives the count as 54, so expect somewhere in that range.
The workflow it describes is simple: drag a group of matching MIDI files onto suitable presets, then add kick, snaps and percussion.
Every sound has all 4 macros and the mod-wheel assigned. The maker calls this a "one-knob scheme", so one control moves the modulation for that patch.
If you want to shape a preset further, the macro layout gives you a starting point. The maker says the pack suits both experienced sound designers and people just starting out with synthesis.
The pack needs Xfer Serum v1.13 or later. It is a Serum soundset, so it loads in the synth rather than running as a standalone plugin.
The drums and vocals heard in the demo song are not part of the pack. You supply your own kick, snaps and percussion, as the maker's workflow suggests.
In short, you get:
Yes. The Black Friday deal takes 60% off Tropical House for Serum, bringing the 64-preset Resonance Sound pack to $9.18. The offer runs until Dec 6, 2026.
The pack has 64 Serum presets: 5 Bass, 2 Guitars, 14 Leads, 9 Pads, 25 Plucks, 5 Pianos and 4 Vocals. It also includes MIDI files, various wavetables and 25 Noise OSC samples.
You need Xfer Serum v1.13 or later. The presets load inside Serum. The drums and vocals in the demo song are not included, so bring your own kick, snaps and percussion.
The maker assigned all 4 macros and the mod-wheel on each sound, aiming for a one-knob scheme to modulate it. That gives you quick control over every patch without digging into Serum's matrix.
