REQ: Aiyn Zahev Sounds Serum Classic Trance

The all-new “Serum Classic Trance” by Aiyn Zahev features 180 presets inspired by some of the best trance tunes from the turn of the millennium. While Serum has a pristine clear sound, the sounds here make full use of the filters, EQ, distortion/clipping, and the dynamics section to bring out tones that are classic in character but will fit right in with modern production styles.

There’s a strong emphasis here on the core of great production sounds. Basses, Leads, Pads and plucks, even digital vocal-like sounds, with just a handful of drum and FX sounds for good measure.

Since Serum features a basic sample playback oscillator, I thought it ideal to use small single samples expand the palette of this bank in key areas. Adding stereo waveforms and noise goes a long way, along with waveforms reminiscent of classic digital wave playback (PCM) synths.

Serum Classic Trance will be a huge asset to anyone working in the EDM genre, whether in the modern classic trance resurgence, modern melodic techno (which commonly utilizes retro trance sounds with a wink and a nod), or anything in between.

The bank breaks down into the following: 36 Basses, 33 Leads, 33 Pads, 18 Plucks, 47 various assorted sounds, and a handful of FX and Drum presets. Many of these sounds can cross categories, plucks and leads making for great bass sounds, basses making for good plucks, etc
