If you’re looking to expand your Serum preset library and access a world of new sounds, installing banks is a great way to get more out of the plugin. With thousands of Serum banks available online, it’s not hard to find incredible-sounding presets that outclass the stock presets included with the plugin.

If you have recently downloaded an additional Serum bank, you will need to know how to install it.

To install Serum banks, start by opening the Serum presets folder. You can access this folder by selecting ‘Show Serum Presets Folder’ from the Serum menu. Next, copy and paste your Serum bank anywhere into this folder. Lastly, press ‘Rescan folders on disk’ from the Serum menu.
