The Nightfall Bundle includes five packs, offering a total of 449 presets for the Xfer Serum synth. Within this collection, you'll discover a diverse range of sounds, from lush pads and melodic keys to atmospheric synths and nostalgic retro presets.
Nighttime Ride is a complete synthwave and vaporwave suite with 218 presets for Xfer Serum. The sound design of the patches has been based on creating some beautiful sonic elements deriving from the decade of eighties.
The soundbank contains:
65 Synth Pads
70 Polysynths
10 Synth Plucks
35 Lead Synths
18 Synths for adding fills with chords
20 Basses (Mainly plucked)
Eerie Atmospheres for Xfer Serum synth is an atmospheric soundbank consisting of 30 long synths. Its sounds could be used in a variety of music styles from cinematic to rock and from electronica to ambient, when the creation of some haunting, out of this world, atmosphere is the desired goal.
Most of the sounds rely on the mid and high frequencies of the sound spectrum, to emphasize the mysterious aspects of the sonic dimension. Also, the 4th macro is assigned to the multiband compression of Serum, where its settings mainly amplify the mid frequencies, to add more musicality if needed.
Waiting For The Night is a collection of 50 pad presets for Xfer Serum synth. From organic textures and flanger airplane like sounds and from 80’s strings to modern soft pads this soundbank could fit for a variety of music genres.
Ballad Colors contains 101 Xfer Serum Presets that engrave a ballad-like sound design path. They fit for many genres like hip-hop, trip-hop and melodic loops-based music (they are perfect for that lo-fi trippy melodic lines) as well as ballad-based songs or some chill and electronic music styles.
Here you can find some soft harp-like synths, some mildly saturated keys, some nylon guitar synths, synth bells, experimental electric piano presets and other. The lo-fi element is present in some of the patches. I really like the use of Flanger to create some saturated and out of this world soundscapes. Be careful with the use of flanger as it may increase the intensity of the sound abruptly – using a limiter in the channel is highly recommended. To some other sound the saturation derives from other sources like the filter type, ring modulation or other modulation methods. You could add more lo-fi character with the Lofi Chorus macro, which gradually adds a nice reformation of the final sound.
Chorused Pads contains 50 Serum presets. All of the sounds are calming pads and the chorus effect is the main and common element in the patches. The sounds of most of the presets are dynamically and due to their versatility, they could be used in a variety of genres like electronic, pop, rock, ambient and other.
Presets were designed with Serum v1.368 and run better with this or newer edition
