August 14, 2025 (Auckland, NZ) – Today, Serato announced the drop of Hex FX 1.1, the newest update to the audio software company’s multi-FX plug-in. Serato first launched Hex FX in December 2024 to provide music producers with dynamic, fully-customizable effects in one easy-to-use plug-in. Now, the latest version has been released, featuring a Preset Macro Editor, three new vibrant effects, 40 new presets, key UI/UX upgrades and general bug fixes.
Hex FX 1.1 will help music producers take their sonic abilities to the next level with a slate of new sounds and upgraded features sure to boost inspiration and creativity.
What’s New in Hex FX 1.1:
- 40 new presets including artist presets designed by producer and instrumentalist Kaelin Ellis (Lupe Fiasco, Logic, Joyce Wrice), genre-blending producer Oh Gosh Leotus (Doechii, Tink, Blxst) and more.
- Three new effect types – Spring Reverb, Cassette Sim and 3-Band EQ – to add space, lo-fi color and tone shaping to any sound.
- The four Spring Reverb modes include Vintage, Modern, Cosmic and Digital. From slap-backs to warped decay, this effect will propel the possibilities of spring reverbs beyond reality.
- Cassette Sim recreates old textures with new FX. Tap into the soulful lo-fi sounds of worn-out decks and dusty mixtapes with Hiss, Wow, Flutter, Mechanical Grab and Warm Overdrive.
- 3-Band EQ allows producers to shape their FX chain with parametric Low-Shelf, Mid-Bell and High-Shelf EQ to offer clean, classic tone-sculpting.
- With the introduction of the Preset Macro Editor, producers can customize how every effect and parameter in their chain responds to their Hex Dial. Automate with precision, craft dynamic FX chains and unlock unique textures from one central view.
Hex FX 1.1 is now available at serato.com/hex-fx.
