I have found and fixed the issue of Serum crashing when I would cycle through presets.

I had just bought Serum via Splice through their new rent-to-own scheme. I was super pumped. I installed it and opened it up... but, that's when the trouble began.

Every time I would start auditioning presets Serum would crash - taking down Ableton Live with it.

I tried letting the database build itself completely. I tried re-installing. I tried letting each preset load for a couple seconds.. that seemed to work a little, but the problem persisted. Plus, even if that method worked 100% of the time, talk about a workflow nightmare.

Run Open: %APPDATA%/xfer/
Luckily, the fix is simple enough.

On a Windows machine right click the Windows icon and select the Run command. Then copy this command line

%APPDATA%/xfer/

Paste that into the Open input of the Run window.

That will bring you to Serum's appdata folder. There should be another folder and a .dat file. You want to erase the .dat file titled Serumpresetdb.dat. Apparently the file gets corrupted from time to time.

Don't worry about it. Once you re-launch Serum let it rebuild the database completely. Once it's done you should be able to use the synth without any issues or crashes.
