How To Install Serum Banks

Installing banks is a wonderful approach to get more use out of the plugin if you’re trying to increase the number of presets in your Serum library and gain access to a vast array of new sounds. It’s simple to get incredible-sounding presets that surpass the basic presets included with the plugin thanks to the thousands of Serum banks that are readily available online.

You must understand how to install any new Serum banks that you have lately obtained.

Open the Serum presets folder first to install Serum banks. By choosing “Show Serum Presets Folder” from the Serum menu, you may go to this folder. Next, paste your Serum bank wherever you like into this folder. In the Serum menu, select “Rescan folders on disk” to finish.
