Parallel Touch Audio has released Full Throttle Vol. 1: The Ignition, a free Serum 2 preset pack containing 20 sounds for EDM, Bass House, Trap and Drum & Bass production.
The collection focuses on powerful basses, sharp leads, chords, synths and creative effects. Every preset includes eight assigned macros, giving producers fast control over movement, tone and intensity without rebuilding the patch from scratch.
What Is Full Throttle Vol. 1?
Full Throttle Vol. 1: The Ignition is a free sound bank created exclusively for Xfer Serum 2.
The pack was developed by Parallel Touch Audio, a sound design label founded by producer and sound designer Killsam. Its sounds are designed for modern electronic music and provide practical starting points for drops, basslines, hooks and high-energy arrangements.
The complete pack contains:
- 11 bass presets
- 3 lead presets
- 2 synth presets
- 3 chord presets
- 1 FX preset
Eleven Bass Presets for Modern Electronic Music
Basses form the largest category in the pack, making Full Throttle particularly useful for Bass House, Drum & Bass, Trap and heavier EDM styles.
The presets can be used as ready-made production sounds or customized inside Serum 2. Producers can modify oscillator settings, envelopes, filters and effects, while the eight macros provide immediate control over the most useful movements.
When using the bass presets, audition them with the actual kick and drums in the project. Adjusting note length, octave and macro positions can often help the sound fit the groove more naturally.
Leads, Chords and Synth Sounds
The three lead presets are designed for hooks, drops and energetic melodic phrases. The chord and synth patches provide additional harmonic material for breakdowns, intros and layered electronic arrangements.
A simple preset can generate several variations across one track. Reduce effects for a tighter section, automate macros during a build-up, then use a brighter or heavier version during the final drop.
This keeps the production consistent while still creating progression.
Eight Macros on Every Preset
Each sound includes eight macros assigned to important parameters.
This makes the pack suitable for producers who want immediate results but still need enough control to personalize each patch. Macros can be automated inside a compatible DAW to create filter movement, tonal changes, additional distortion or evolving effects.
The precise macro destinations vary according to the preset, so it is worth testing every control before using the sound in a final arrangement.
Designed for Serum 2
Full Throttle Vol. 1 requires Xfer Serum 2. It is not a standalone virtual instrument, and Serum itself is not included with the download.
The pack is imported through Serum 2’s preset pack system. Parallel Touch Audio provides the complete sound bank as one pack file so that presets, custom oscillators and associated content remain correctly organized.
Best Uses for the Free Presets
- EDM drops and festival-style arrangements
- Bass House basslines
- Drum & Bass production
- Trap and hybrid electronic beats
- Electronic leads and hooks
- Chord layers and breakdowns
- Creative resampling
The presets can also be rendered to audio and processed further with distortion, granular effects, pitching or time stretching. This can turn a small collection of 20 sounds into a much larger personal library.
Royalty-Free Use in Original Productions
Parallel Touch Audio licenses its presets for use in commercial and non-commercial music, audio and visual productions.
Music created with the presets can therefore be released commercially. The original preset files cannot be redistributed, resold or repackaged as another preset bank, sample library or virtual instrument.
