Specifically... Im looking for sound sets that that might fit in with the vibe of Pretty Lights, Shpongle, Bonobo, Desert Dwellers, Entheogenic (or similar... though these are not that similar!) I am much better at programming RePro than Serum, but I really like Serum so far. It has a logic to it I like but its just so vast... and I haven't had a lot of time with Sylenth. I am Really looking to expand my preset library to speed up the writing process. Any and all suggestions much appreciated. Also, if there is a synth out there that has an amazing catalog of presets that fit this vibe let me know and I will try it out.

Serum isnt that its vast, its extremely self explanatory. It can do a lot. I think if you are just kind of starting out and need presets, Serum is one of those plugins that you actually can literally make any sound you want with little effort. One thing you gotta understand is these guys you mentioned, they know how to write amazing music, and have excellent composition. If you buy preset packs, but your composition is not on par (not saying you write bad music at all), then you are really just wasting money. Its rewarding to learn synths, and make presets yourself.

If it really comes down to buying presets to help you make your own presets, then for Serum, invest in something like https://lp24audio.com/analog-feel

There are seamlessly loopable samples for the noise section of Serum that will help you get some really good analog sounds. This pack is a great pack to get. If you get something like this, it should really enhance your samples and wavetables for serum a lot.

" Pretty Lights, Shpongle, Bonobo, Desert Dwellers, Entheogenic" must be getting old, those names mean nothing to me...

At least it gives me something to lisen to on Spotify this afternoon!

for sylenth1, browse the factory library 1, the best content is simply there, you will recognize a lot of sound used in many tracks.

for Serum, i never found any killer library, there is many libraries full of wavetable and sample looped like mention by vertibration, those thing are useless, use factory wavetable or 1/2 custom libraries of basics wt, and use transformation, FM or simply parameters automation to make them live.

Rob Lee makes really great banks for synths and theyre usually free, check him out. Ive found a ton of usable sounds in there. Also hes a regular here at KVR

I'm hoping there are some nice preset banks out there considering how many great sound designers are working on these... especially Serum.

Thanks
vertibration
for the recommend. I checked the bank out and sounds like a great start. I am trying to build a list of packs to pick up during the coming holiday sales, so any additional recommendations are greatly appreciated. Hopefully one day my composition/production will be on par with Simon, Simon, and Derek, but I can only follow my creativity and muse. I don't have the skills to build ALL sounds from Init patch, so I need some really good banks to work with when composing, which I will tweak to fit the song. Also, I am primarily a guitarist, and you know how guitarists can be... haha!

Best sound designers are mostly putting out banks for u he synths, check these guys out, see if they have something interesting for your synths or there's some synths that are worth getting to use some of the amazing banks they put out for.

Yea I agree Sami is the shit. Prometheus and Cube are excellent. I dont even do trance music, but you can really manipulate his presets to make it fit your own style.

Great demo! I'll be sure to pick up his stuff.
Thanks and keep 'em coming!

Great recommendations... How are the Triple Spiral sets?

This has some pretty sweet sounds for Serum (+ offers free updates when the pack gets new sounds):
