Offers poly and other portamento settings. Has trancegate and arpeggio, not so useful. it offers expansions for different types of music genres. Nexus is good for leads and stuff like that, but the rest of it isnt that good at all. This plugin is mostly geared towards dance and trance music, has the same quality almost like a virus c.
so this is going the be a review from a pro nexus user who has been using this plugin since the beginning.
It comes with so many sounds you can try it on everything!Īlright. Of course you can use it many other different genres too. I don't know if I would survive creating dance music without this tool and I'm pretty sure many producers is on my team. On the other hand, reFX must be very proud coming up with something that is both caracteristic and people seem to like it that much. Nowadays, NEXUS 2 is used in almost every dance production and you can really hear it. The only negative thing I can think of is something that you easily can turn into something positive - which is its caracteristic "sound". NEXUS 2 comes with advanced arpeggio and trance gate functions as well as brilliant filters, and FX (Reverb, Delay, Bitcrusher etc.) The best thing though, is that you have the opportunity to tweak if you'd like. You don't have to tweak everything for it to sound as you'd like it to do. The presets are also very inspiring and sounds REALLY good from the beginning. This is a perfect tool for every producer who wants a more modern touch in his/her production. You can create your own bundle with all the xp's reFX are offering, but even if you just choose the base package- you'll probably get very excited! Of course, you can tweak the sounds very closely to the vintage synths but it's originality is in the digital presets.įor a quite small amount of money you get the base package of this virtual monster. In fact, it really has its own sound and you can really tell when someone used NEXUS in a production. It is not just another emulation of an already existing awesome hardware synth like the JUNO or MOOG. From distorted sqaure leads to cutting saw pads, crispy basses and soft synth strings - NEXUS handles everything. For dance-producers this is probably the best one ever.
ReFX NEXUS 2 is a wonderful software synth.
