New library for Serum 2 now available.

While Serum itself does support using previous patches designed for Serum, external projects (DAW Projects) and NKS files cannot easily update to use Serum 2 sadly so it was required to export the library from scratch with a completely new and improved controller template.

This library includes both the Serum 1 library (with all the previous tagging efforts from the old library migrated across) and the new Serum 2 preset library with full tagging.

With the update in controls there has been a complete overhaul of the old template. Page 1 now holds the 8 macro controls, tho note since Serum 1 only contained 4 macro controls all serum 1 patches only load the 4 macro controls leaving the others free for your own mapping. These will auto populate the control name for easy control.

The OSC control section was a challenge because Serum intelligently switches some of the controls around but with some effort I managed to create a control page that should allow access to the main controls over all OSC types, just be aware depending on the OSC type, not all controls are applicable. It makes sense after a little bit of play.

The FX section of Serum 2 is completely modular now and due to the complex and large number of parameters Xfer have done away with automatable controls for these effects, instead allowing you to map automation with right-click of 16 parameters. These are mapped to 16 reserved FX Automation slots which have been pre-mapped for you on the last 2 pages of the control template however in my tests I believe there is a bit of a bug in this feature as it seems to not reset the automation position when switching presets so if you map a parameter and switch a preset, all parameters are no longer mapped (as expected) but when you right-click to map a new parameter it does not take the first available automation slot, rather if you had 1 mapped previous it always now takes the next slot after that even if the first is free. This is certainly a bug I will raise with Xfer.

While I am confident that the 25 page template covers most of what should be needed, if you discover a parameter that has not been mapped and would be useful to have access too, please let me know and I can add it to an update.

Also note, the previous expansions NKS libraries that were available for Serum 1 have not yet been generated for Serum 2, that will come soon.
