The Lovecraftian: Eldritch Echoes for Serum 2

The Lovecraftian is a collection of dark, cinematic soundscapes, designed to awaken the cosmic terror that lurks beyond reality. Crafted by Astral Abyssal, this pack captures the essence of Lovecraftian horror — deep textures, eerie atmospheres, and unearthly sonic mutations. Perfect for sound design, game audio, ambient compositions, or horror trailers, each sound invites you to explore the unknown… and lose yourself in it.

Macros play a crucial role in this pack. Each one unlocks a radically different sonic path — it’s up to you to find the right combinations. And who knows… you might just stumble upon THE sound you’ve been searching for all along.

The Serum Presets (50 Sounds):

• 8 Additional Macros: Macros play a crucial role in this pack. Each one unlocks a radically different sonic path — it’s up to you to find the right combinations. And who knows… you might just stumble upon THE sound you’ve been searching for all along. 

Preset Breakdown:

• 3 Aberrations: a custom preset category in Serum 2, inspired by the distorted cries and guttural whispers of Lovecraftian entities. Aberration focuses entirely on presets sculpted from raw vocal recordings — mutated, stretched, and resynthesized into inhuman forms.

• 4 Atmos: a collection of dark, immersive soundscapes crafted to blur the line between reality and nightmare. These presets aren’t just textures — they’re sonic environments, designed to transport the listener into vast forgotten ruins, endless cosmic voids, or the decaying minds of ancient beings.

• 6 Basses - Brass: this category is built around dark, textured low-end elements — heavy, gritty, and full of pressure. These sounds aren’t just functional basses. They breathe, distort, and evolve, designed to shake both body and soul.

• 3 Chords: this category explores harmony through a dark, emotional lens — blending layered voicings with subtle instability and spectral motion. Each preset is designed to feel both beautiful and uneasy, like something familiar twisted just enough to feel… wrong. These chords drift, shimmer, and sometimes crack under pressure. They can be played as lush cinematic progressions or sustained into textural pads with harmonic depth.

• 4 FX: Crafted from synthetic modulations, processed noise, and layered vocal elements, these FX can mimic alien machinery, dimensional rifts, or ancient spells being cast in reverse. Used subtly, they create unease. Used boldly, they become the voice of the unknown.

• 1 Hit: Thanks to built-in modulation and macro control, you can easily adjust the speed, intensity, and decay of the impact. By playing with different MIDI notes, you also unlock a range of tonal variations — from low, sub-heavy booms to sharp, metallic strikes. Whether you’re scoring an explosion, a creature’s slam, or a portal collapsing into itself, these presets are your weapon of choice.

• 3 Leads: These leads are designed to capture the tension, mystery, and strangeness of H.P. Lovecraft’s universe. They represent forbidden knowledge, otherworldly dimensions, and incomprehensible cosmic forces. Expect powerful, textured, sometimes dissonant, often hypnotic tones.

• 6 Pads: These pads are designed to immerse you in dark, vast, and unknowable sonic landscapes. They represent the cold immensity of the void, the slow emergence of an ancient evil, or the awakening of a forgotten entity. These sounds breathe slowly — like a cosmic being dormant for millennia… now stirring.

• 7 Rhythms : These rhythm-based presets are designed to embody the unstoppable, mechanical pulse of an ancient force — something not human, not natural. They channel the primordial beat of the void, the subsonic march of titanic beings, or the pulsing heart of a forgotten machine buried beneath alien soil.

• 6 Soundscapes: These soundscapes are crafted to transport the listener to ancient, alien dimensions where the rules of reality are frayed or broken. They evoke forgotten temples beneath the sea, cursed rituals under dying stars, and the vast silence between galaxies. They’re not musical elements in the traditional sense — they are atmospheric entities, living ambiances that breathe unease and intrigue into every second of sound.
  

• 6 Textures: These textures aren’t here to be pretty — they’re organic, erratic, and deeply unsettling. They evoke the sensation of touching something you shouldn’t, hearing things beneath the surface, or traversing a reality that’s fraying at the edges. These presets are the raw sonic essence of forgotten ruins, non-Euclidean temples, and eldritch surfaces pulsing with life.
