First, you need to find the Serum presets you want to install. There are numerous websites and communities where you can download free or paid presets. Make sure to choose a reliable source to avoid any potential malware or viruses.
Step 2: Extract the Presets
Once you have downloaded the presets, you will likely find them in a compressed file format, such as .zip or .rar. To access the presets, you need to extract the contents of the file. You can use a built-in file extraction tool on your computer or a third-party program like WinRAR or 7-Zip.

Step 4: Copy and Paste the Presets
Now that you have located the Serum presets folder, copy the extracted presets from the previous step. Then, paste them into the Serum presets folder. If you are using a Windows computer, the path to the folder is usually:
C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Roaming\Native Instruments\Reaktor\Presets\ Serum
For Mac users, the path is:
~/Library/Application Support/Native Instruments/Reaktor/Presets/ Serum
Step 5: Restart Serum
After copying the presets to the correct folder, restart Serum to ensure that the program recognizes the new presets. Once Serum is open, you should see the new presets in the “Presets” tab.
