Splice offers a wide variety of presets for popular synth plugins like Serum, Massive, Sylenth, and more. We also have a large catalog of presets for our two native plugins, Astra and Beatmaker. You can check out our preset selection here.
Note: Presets are created for specific plugins, and you'll need the plugin that a preset was made for in order to utilize it. For example, a copy of the Serum VST plugin is required to open and use Serum presets downloaded from Splice.
You can see which plugin is required for the preset when browsing like so:
Presets cannot be dragged directly into your DAW the same way samples can. Presets aren't audio files; rather, they are files containing a specific group of settings for a plugin that cause the plugin to output a certain sound.
There are three ways to purchase presets:
1. Download individual presets
If a pack on Splice includes presets, you can click on the "Presets" menu (above the filters) to view and preview them on the website and desktop app:
From there, click the + button to add a preset to your library, the same way you would purchase a sample.
2. Bulk download presets
If you would like to download multiple presets at once, please select the first preset, then using the check boxes, select the others you wish to download. You can do this one by one, or hold the Shift key to select multiple at once like so:
3. Get all presets in a pack
If you would like to download all of the presets in a pack, simply select "Get Pack" and you will have the option to download all of the samples and/or presets in the pack like so:
How much do presets cost?
Presets for Serum, Astra, Sylenth, Massive, and Spire cost 3 credits each.

How can I find my presets?
Presets download directly via the Splice desktop app; you can view all of your purchased presets by going to Your Library > Sounds > Presets in the app:
If a preset is in your library, but has not been locally downloaded to your computer, click the "sync locally" (cloud) icon to download it.
