Serum 2 presets for metal, DnB, darksynth and cinematic production
This collection brings together 17 Serum 2 preset products: sixteen focused toolkits and the Complete Toolkit Bundle with 8,000 Serum 2 presets. Every standalone toolkit contains 1,000 presets, so you can choose one defined sound world instead of sorting through a generic mixed bank. The range covers modern metal, drum and bass, darksynth, synthwave, cinematic scoring, industrial sound design, hybrid metal and metalstep.
Use the packs as fast starting points for writing and production: basses that can reinforce guitars or lead a drop, playable leads and keys, evolving pads, rhythmic sequences, plucks, impacts, risers and transition FX. The exact category balance is shown on every product page, along with audio or video demonstrations where available.
Choose a Serum 2 preset pack by genre
- Modern metal, djent and metalcore: start with Modern Metal Toolkit II for 1,000 presets plus 60 wavetables, or choose the original Modern Metal Toolkit for a separate 1,000-preset library. Both focus on basses, leads, pads and production FX that can work around dense guitars and drums.
- Drum and bass and neurofunk: Drum & Bass Toolkit II includes 1,000 presets and 59 wavetables, with an emphasis on basses, sequences, leads and pads. The original Drum & Bass Toolkit is another full bank for subs, Reeses, growls and high-impact production.
- Darksynth and cyberpunk: choose Darksynth Toolkit II for 1,000 presets and 56 wavetables, or the original Darksynth Toolkit for distorted basses, menacing leads, tense pads, cold plucks and impact FX.
- Synthwave and retrowave: Synthwave Toolkit II combines 1,000 presets with 58 wavetables. For a second independent bank, Synthwave Toolkit covers chrome basses, VHS-style chords, arcade leads, warm pads and glassy plucks.
- Cinematic scoring and trailers: Cinematic Toolkit II includes 1,000 presets and 60 wavetables for pads, FX, basses and keys. The original Cinematic Toolkit adds another focused library of impacts, risers, drones, textures and tension-building sounds.
- Industrial and mechanical sound design: Industrial Dark Machines Toolkit II contains 1,000 presets and 57 wavetables. The original Industrial Dark Machines Toolkit explores engine-like basses, command leads, mechanical sequences, smoke-filled pads and factory FX.
- Hybrid metal and heavy electronic: Argent Hybrid Metal Toolkit II includes 1,000 presets and 60 wavetables. Pair it with the original Argent Hybrid Metal Toolkit when you want a wider palette for heavy electronic layers, industrial arrangements and modern metal production.
- Metalstep and aggressive bass music: Metalstep Toolkit II includes 1,000 presets and 59 wavetables. The original Metalstep Toolkit focuses on chug basses, tearout growls, industrial synths, riff-supporting leads and hard transition FX.
Series I, Series II or the complete bundle?
Series I and Series II are separate libraries rather than small updates of the same bank. A Series I toolkit gives you 1,000 presets for its named genre. Each Series II toolkit also gives you 1,000 presets and adds the custom wavetable set stated in its product title. If you work across several of these styles, the 8,000-preset bundle combines all eight core Serum 2 toolkits in one purchase. If you only need one production direction, a standalone toolkit keeps the choice focused.
What kinds of sounds are included?
Category counts vary by toolkit because every genre needs a different balance. Across the collection you will find basses, leads, pads, plucks, keys, sequences, chords, atmospheres and sound-design FX. Series II product pages list the exact preset and wavetable counts, making it easy to compare before purchase. For raw oscillator material beyond the included Series II sets, browse professional wavetables.
