Retrowave For Serum & Cthulhu

'Retrowave For Serum & Cthulhu' by Glitchedtones presents a go-to resource for all things neon-drenched and nostalgic using the latest production techniques for a modern twist on a vintage theme. Featuring 60 Serum presets, 40 Cthulhu presets, loops, one-shots and MIDI files, this collection will have the creativity flowing the minute you start exploring.

Glitchedtones took inspiration from film and TV such as the soundtracks of John Carpenter, Stranger Things, American Horror Story and various 80s slasher flicks as well as contemporary artists including Perturbator, Carpenter Brut, Cyberthing! and Street Cleaner to bring you this Retro Horror flavoured production toolkit. Whether you work in genres such as Darksynth, Synthwave, Outrun, Cyberpunk or Cinematic, there's plenty of material here for you to get that Retro-Future vibe grooving along nicely.

Each Serum preset comes fully loaded with 4 Macro controls, enabling you to tailor your sound on the fly and not distract from the production process too much. Featuring Basses, Leads, Pads, Plucks, FX and Textures, you won't be short on some incredible sounds for a while as the scope to tweak them is almost endless!

For the Cthulhu presets, Glitchedtones input some of the favourite chord progressions from back in the day as well as plenty of tasty contemporary ones across all 12 Major and Minor keys to get the ideas going instantly. Explore the progressions and mix them up to your liking, everything is in key so you don't have to worry about any awkward notes disrupting your process! You'll find triads, sixths, sevenths, ninths and other extended chords. Glitchedtones has taken care of the theory so you can take care of making the music.

Sound Designers also included all diatonic Triads and Sevenths in multiple inversions across all 12 keys to serve as a handy reference and chord palette for any genre of music. There are even some sweet Suspended chords in there for some added harmonic interest. For the true sonic explorers, check out the Mixtape Mixup presets where anything goes! 

Finally, Glitchedtones bounced out a load of riffs and progressions that we put together using the Serum presets along with the MIDI files so you can tweak the notes or switch up the sound if desired for yet more creative potential. Not only that, Glitchedtones also included all of the loops, drum one-shots, and MIDI files from the demo created by production wizard Van Derand, named according to the Serum preset used for your reference.
