Uncanny Dreams: Serum 2 Edition
Turn Serum 2 into a 90s rompler machine!
90s-esque ambient textures, dark alien soundscapes, atmospheric pads, and ice cold industrial shots. Serum 2 presets for use in dreamlike dance music, sound-tracks, scoring, & wherever your mind takes you. Made using original 90s hardware for an authentic experience.
This preset pack contains samples from my Uncanny Dreams Vol 1 and Uncanny Dreams Vol 2 sample packs, turned into playable Serum 2 presets (NOTE: If you ALREADY OWN Uncanny Dreams Vol 1 + 2, you already have the core samples used in 95% of the presets here. Fair Warning!)
How is this possible? Serum 2 now provides a "sample" oscillator, allowing you to load in samples, process them with traditional synthesis technique, and play them back like a classic sampler.
Minimal processing has been done in the presets themselves. A touch of release, loops when applicable, and a simple FX chain that can be easily disabled. This was done to put the sound sculpting in your hands.
202 Serum 2 presets across three categories:
Chords: Ambient pad chords sampled & playable with one finger in serum
FX: Combination of one-shots, soundscapes, and various FX type sounds
Single Notes: Single note variants, looped with the ability to play chords in serum for that 90s sampler sound
Note: this is a PRESET pack for the VST, Serum 2, by XFER Records. You will need a valid copy of Serum 2 in order to load these in. Serum 2 can be purchased directly from XFER here: https://xferrecords.com/products/serum-2
The original samples from Uncanny Dreams Vol 1 + 2 were created with vintage synthesizers & effect units from the 90s
