Serato’s new Hex FX plugin packs presets from Disclosure, Lord Finesse, and moreSerato has launched a new multi-FX plugin, Hex FX, which features a range of exclusive, signature presets from revered music producers.
The New Zealand brand, known better for its DJ gear and software, describes Hex as a “plugin that magically bends, morphs and hexes any sound with a full suite of chainable FX”. You can experiment with presets from Guy Lawrence of Disclosure, Lord Finesse, Jake One, Amber Navran, and DECAP, with over 100 presets available within Hex-FX, and more than 45 unique effects.

Hex Fx was created by the Serato Audio Research Lab, and also features fully customisable effects chains so you can create completely individualised sounds. You can also chain and rearrange up to six effects slots that draw from its full effects library including bit crushers, brakers, compressors, delays, distortion, reverbs, modulation, time stretching and more, all with fully customizable parameters.
Inside Hex, you’ll also find effects inspired by cult classics like the Roland SP-404 or Commodore Amiga and vintage reel-to-reel, which Serato has expanded upon to give producers “an even broader sonic arsenal”. There are additionally some never-before-heard Serato effects on board, too.
Other key features include the Hex Dial, which warps each effect parameter with a single control, plus a Performance FX, including pitch braker, pitch looper, rollout, half time, backspin, and DJ transform.
“I love the sounds within Hex FX, especially the pitch reverb, saturators, and slap-back tape delays – really inventive,” comments Guy Lawrence. “It’s very me. It’s staying in my DAW.”
