REQ: Undulae Music Undulae Legato Strings for Serum 2 (Cello, Viola, Violin)
REALISTIC Legato Strings in Serum 2
The built-in Convolve effect, which these patches heavily rely on to mimic the resonant body of their physical counterparts, changes phase response and frequency response DRASTICALLY at higher sample rates, which completely changes the timbre of these patches for the worse. The higher the sample rate, the bigger the difference. At 48,000, they still sound like string instruments, but with more unpleasant resonance. At 96,000, they sound awful and not even remotely convincing. I am hoping we get a Serum 2 update in the future that addresses this.
This pack includes the following:
Legato Cello preset for Serum 2
Legato Viola preset for Serum 2
Legato Violin preset for Serum 2
"Saxolin" preset for Serum 2, which came from my attempt to recreate Colin Stetson's sax playing in Serum, and was an important stepping stone to these string presets

I made these patches because I always find myself frustrated with the limitations of string sample libraries. I have never found one that offers the right mix of flexibility and expressiveness for programming legato lines.
