The Experiment Vol. 1: 40 Free Serum Presets for Experimental Sound Design
40 free Serum presets built around unusual modulation, custom waves and experimental textures.
The Experiment Vol. 1 by Vicious Antelope is a free bank of 40 presets for Xfer Serum. The collection is designed around unusual modulation ideas, custom waveforms and less conventional sound-design techniques, making it a useful option when standard EDM presets feel too predictable.
A Free Bank Focused on Experimentation
The sounds are built to encourage movement and texture rather than simply reproducing familiar basses and leads.
Noise Oscillator as a Modulation Source
Many patches use the noise oscillator as a modulation element. Changing noise pitch can alter the modulation speed and character, giving the presets extra variation.

Formula-Generated Waveforms
Several sounds use Serum’s formula parser to create less conventional waveforms, adding another layer of individuality to the bank.
Best for Cinematic and Experimental Music
The pack is especially interesting for cinematic textures, experimental electronic music, dark ambience and sound-design-heavy productions.
