How to Make Afro House in Serum 2 (Free Presets Inside)
Afro House is tribal drive that rolls. Rounded log-drum basses, leads that chant, pads like a sunrise, percussion in constant motion. And the bass does more here than hold down a foundation; it works as a melodic instrument, playing a…
Rave Stabs and Hoover Sounds in Serum 2
The hoover's secret is the pitch sweep, the rave stab's secret is a sampled chord. Both builds, plus hard techno context.
How to Make Organic House in Serum 2 (Free Presets Inside)
Organic House is earthy, hypnotic music. Woody plucks, breathy leads with a flute-like quality, textures that live comfortably beside real percussion instead of fighting it. The whole game is making a synth that never announces itself as one. For reference:…

How to Make Progressive Techno in Serum 2 (Free Presets Inside)
Progressive Techno is tension that never stops moving. Arps that evolve, deep rolling basses, pads that refuse to fully resolve. In a good progressive track nothing lands all at once; sounds shift so gradually you only register the change a…
Guitar-Style Sounds in Serum 2 (Plucked Strings That Work)
Convincing plucked strings from a wavetable synth, plus the honest line where synthesis stops and sampled guitar wins.
How to Make Industrial Techno in Serum 2 (Free Presets Inside)
Industrial Techno sounds like concrete and steel. Metallic textures, a low end pushed past its breaking point, sounds that feel manufactured rather than played. Melody matters less here than weight and friction do. Reference names: Perc, Ancient Methods, SNTS. Tempo…
