Question 11

What's the difference between presets, samples, and MIDI files?

Accepted Answer

Presets are sounds for synths (Serum, Pigments) — you load them and play them. Samples are pre-recorded audio files (drums, vocals, loops) ready to drop into your project. MIDI files are musical patterns (chord progressions, basslines) that you can play with any sound. Many producers use all three.

Question 12

How do I install presets in Serum or Pigments?

Accepted Answer

For Serum, drag the .fxp files into the Serum > Presets folder, or use Serum's "Import" feature. For Pigments, use Arturia's import system or place the presets in the Pigments user folder. Detailed installation guides are included with every preset pack.
