    Not sure if it's allowed here, but when i try to save a preset in my cracked serum it says
    "unable to open file to save!!!"
    I tried it on different versions of serum and it says the same.. Just please, don't tell me that the solution is to buy the software, i already know it, but it's not possible.
    Thanks

    Sounds like a lack of permissions to write data on your disk.
    Try to run your DAW, in which you use Serum, as admin. Maybe it helps.

    Hi! The Serum can handle MIDI learn function globally, or any patch must be adjusted separately?

    Hi everyone. I've been trying to fix it for 2 hrs now, eventually found the solution. Try this: just move the "Serum Presets" folder (from Documents/Xfer) to C:/ (in the same place as "PROGRAM FILES" and all, don't go in any subfolder) load a new instance of serum. it's normally asking you to select the "serum presets" folder. go where you just put it, select it...and it works. I tried so many other places and all, it never works... but there yes. weird huh ?

    Hope it'll work for you 8)

    Hi, right below the posts here you can find the date on the left hand, the one you replied to dates from Dec 29, 2016. I think the member's problem is either solved or he doesn't use Serum anymore, just sayin'. :winker:

    Welcome to THE forum.

    Anyone having problem seeing the presets when over 80.000? I can go to next preset through the arrows but if I open the list and go for instance, from A to T preset it wont load.

    you got to let it scan the entire library to create the database first. For 80k presets it will take around 1 hour to complete (depends on your system speed of course) the full library scan and Serum GUI MUST BE OPENED the entire time, if you closed it, it will restart the moment you open it back. It will need another full scan if you add a new preset pack again (read: preset folder modification), yeah the full 1 hour. Adding new self created preset however doesn't need full scan, it will automatically added to the database. Once the library database is built, you can browse it more fast and the categories selection will work faster and yes use that arrow key.

    After all these times, I've develop a habit to do it first thing in the morning, open DAW, load template and open Serum GUI to let it scan and build the database, leave PC to do the chores, breakfast, or whatnot.

    It is actually a pathetic implementation of a database.
    Imagine if all databases required rescanning everything for one change.
    I suppose it's due to the fact that preset organization was, as usual for most VSTi, and afterthought, and the same people who seem to be amazing at creating synths are retards when it comes to common sense things.
    These are the kind of people you might see walking down the hall, hacking into the NSA on a modified Gameboy just for kicks ... with their pants on backwards.
