Serum Presets FAQ
Q: What is Serum?
A: Serum is a software synthesizer plugin, developed and supported by Xfer Records. It makes use of sophisticated digital signal processing technology to allow users to generate and manipulate sounds using a process known as wavetable synthesis on a computer, in real-time. Serum runs as a VST, AU or AAX plugin inside a host application such as Ableton Live, a digital audio workstation, synchronising to the host’s BPM or tempo and triggered by the piano roll or any connected MIDI controller devices.
Q: What is a Serum preset?
A: A Serum preset is a digital file that stores previously configured synth settings, allowing one user to instantly load up a sound that a developer has spent a great deal of time and care in creating. Serum presets are saved as .fxp files, which also stores any custom wavetable information.
