Free Surge XT patches

Click to download my free patches --> DanAn_SurgeXT_patches.zip

To install the patches, run Surge XT, right click on the patch browser and click on "Open user patches folder". Then copy and paste the unzipped contents as a new folder.

Please make sure you use Surge XT version 1.3.1 or above. Some patches may not work properly for previous versions.

And thanks to Johnny Marnell a .vstpreset version of the patches are available as well --> DanAn-Surge-XT-vst3presets.zip

The .vstpreset (VST 3) is a standard that can play a little nicer in DAWs / software using Surge. (For instance, using these kinds of files, I can map a knob on my midi controller to change presets easily without having to mouse through the Surge XT UI)

The genre of music I was aiming to make these patches useful for are pop and soft rock. I hope you like it!

Also, please support me at presetshare.com. If you go to that page, you can hear several examples of how some of the patches are used. Listen to those examples and subscribe&like so I can get more audience. Thank you!
