AI Serum Preset Generator: A New Sound Design Agent

November 10, 20264 min read

The AI Serum Preset Generator now runs on an upgraded sound design agent. Every setting it writes now lands in Serum 2 exactly as designed, and you'll hear it: effects that come through, tighter basses, movement locked to your tempo, and clean output levels.

Same prompt box, same download. Just better presets.

What's new

🎯

Every setting lands

The agent now writes Serum 2's own parameter names and codes, checked against Serum itself. Filter types, unison and detune, effect settings and modulation routes load exactly as generated.

🌊

Effects you can hear

Reverb, delay, chorus and phaser now sit in Serum's main effect chain with real mix levels, so a 'lush pad with lots of reverb' actually has the reverb.

🔊

Tighter, cleaner basses

Sub oscillators are tuned in the audible range and run through the filter with the rest of the sound. Warm basses stay warm, and the low end stays solid instead of fluttering.

⏱️

Movement on the beat

Wobbles, pumps and LFO movement now lock to the note value you ask for. Ask for a 1/8 note wobble or a quarter-note sidechain pump and that's what you get.

🎚️

Clean output level

Presets are gain-staged with a safety limiter at the end of the effect chain, so stacked layers and big effects don't clip your channel.

📝

Follows your recipe

Spell out specific settings like octaves, envelope times, filter type or effect order, and the agent uses them instead of its own defaults.

Tested in Serum 2

The new agent was developed by playing its presets in Serum 2 and checking what actually comes out, not just what the preset file says. The result is presets that match what you asked for much more closely, with the biggest improvements on basses, leads and pads.

Getting the most out of it

  • ✓Name the sound and its character. “Warm analog bass with subtle chorus” gives the agent more to work with than “bass”.
  • ✓Give movement a note value. “1/8 note wobble” or “quarter-note pump” is followed exactly.
  • ✓Say what you don't want. “Dry, no reverb” leaves the effect out entirely.
  • ✓Be specific when you know what you want. Octaves, envelope times, filter types and effect settings in your prompt take priority over the agent's own choices.

Nothing to install

The new agent is live in the generator now. Presets you made before still load as they are. Run a favourite prompt again to hear the difference.
