  DJ Henny's review "Brilliant all purpose VST."

  Getting Started

  The VST worked pretty much perfectly with the two computers that I have used it on. I have used it on a low end computer (1.8GHZ pentium and 1gb ram) as well as my current (2.5GHZ Core2Quad & 4GB ram) and it runs equally as brilliant on both. The install is painless and extremely simple and the layout of the VST is typically emphatic. There are many skins that you can use to improve the layout erganomically. The browser is very easy to use.

  Suitability/Performance

  Nexus 2 is a very very stable VST from my experience. I have had no crashes at all coming from it and it has worked with almost all of the expansions that I have used (I will talk about them in next section). I have used this plugin for most of my music for the last year and I would literally be nowhere without it. I have used this plugin in both FL Studio 9 and Ableton Live, and encountered 0 problems with it.

  Overall Opinion

  The sounds that come with Nexus as presets are beyond any other plugin I've ever used. The quality that comes out of nearly all of them is industry ready. I love the expansions that can come with Nexus too allowing even MORE sounds than the already comfy 8 or so GB that come stock with the plugin. The only problem is some third party expansions have not worked as well as the original presets, and don't come categorised. The arpeggiator on the plugin is very simple to use too, with a click in method. The sounds can be effect heavy but they are easy to disable from the interface. The only downside to the actual sounds are the lack of modelling oppurtunitys, so people who want to tweak sounds heavily would probably not have much joy from Nexus. Knowing what I do after purchasing, I would not hesitate again as it is an integral part of my production.

  trancer's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Getting Started

  Simply put, a breeze to install and extensions.

  Suitability/Performance

  I have a MAC PRO 8 cores and 10 gigs of ram, and ProTools 9 LIVE 8.
  
  
  
  The logciel works great, stability is a pure happiness.
  
  
  
  For stability, no worries, reFX products, Best of the Best.

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for over a year.
  
  
  
  I like everything, the only downside is the price the same as a Virus Ti2 rack for example, Nexus and two extensions.
  
  
  
  Now, this is only my opinion, the Nexus is the 2 virtual clone of Ti2, I speak in terms of sounds, of course.
  
  
  
  Simply put, it's a Nexus rompleur, no brainer, the sound is immediate, no need to go through menus, etc. .., it's direct.
  
  
  
  Now everything depends on the value, I personally do not know anything synthetic, so for me to not have to have millions of controllers, I wanted to direct sound, without the fuss and there, the Nexus' s is simply the ultimate synth, the heavy, really.
  
  
  
  I have a lot of synhté Virtual Vanguard, a real bomb too (ReFX), V-series 2.0, Korg Legacy, Avid products, Gladiator 2, Spectrasonics (all) as the bomb, etc. ..
  
  
  
  But I particularly like the Nexus 2, this synth for me was a revelation, I have no share in the partnership, but synhté, it's very, very heavy.
  
  
  
  An excellent sound quality, a presence, big sound, in short the Top.
  
  
  
  For the price, it's true, it's expensive, but the quality and stability at a price, in addition, the site is kept up to date, more significant.
  
  
  
  I do it again without any worries whatsoever and I look forward more.
  
  
  
  Synth virutel gain absolutely, with extensions in addition, of course.

  laurent BERGMAN's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Not too bad"

  Getting Started

  Easy installation, the installer is launched for the reader of samples and we copy the folder "Nexus content" where we want (internal or external disk). When first loading the plug-in (remember to insert the key Syncrosoft), it automatically locates the folder where the banks.
  
  
  
  To import new banks, we can not be easier, just place the new bank (in. Nxp) and the license file on the desktop, go in the "Sys" and click on tab "Desktop" and the bank is imported.

  Suitability/Performance

  Mac Pro 8 x 2.4 Ghz Westmere (late 2010), 8 GB Ram, 4 x HD 1 temp / Logic Pro 9/Motu 896 HD.
  
  
  
  No compatibility issues.
  
  
  
  Very stable.

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for a year, I also use the Kontakt and the EXS 24, each with its qualities according to what is desired.
  
  
  
  The good thing compared to the version 1 is mainly due to the possibility of separate layers (ie if a sequence with drums and Gimmik we like, we can turn off some layers of sound as the arpeggiator for each layer This can either recover or drum loops and grooves when playing with new sounds Gimmik provided) via the tab "Mix". Vengeance adds regular banks pretty nice. The reader is fairly well thought out (although it lacks some features), the effects are effective, but banks seem a little expensive in relation to the amount of 128 presets (54 € 99), I admit that the quality sounds is to go, it was the mood right away, ideal for quickly building a project.
  
  
  
  For contemporary music (Electro, Dance, Eurodance) is a must.
  
  
  
  The negative point is that found similar sounds in different banks is used in a lot of current productions (to be found which will make the difference over other producers), as well as the transition to Syncrosoft key instead of the license file that was used for version 1 (we are still victims of piracy). It was easier to use version 1 for a mobile station, now, if we forget the dongle is cooked!
  
  
  
  This choice I would do without hesitation.

  karl.johansson's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Simple and effective"

  Getting Started

  No installation problems, make sure you have a USB port for key anti-piracy protection.

  Suitability/Performance

  My PC is more of a racing machine for the year 2010 (the settings are changed, it is useless as I detail) but I've seen the Nexus switch easily to other more modest config carefree and on laptops. It may be memory intensive depending on the presets (it is a sample player).
  
  
  
  We are on his side's heavy but overexploited in a lot of current productions. The sounds are easily identifiable but are still effective. VENGEANCE dealing with food banks in this software regularly and stuff.
  
  Do not expect a synthesizer but rather a sampler with a few knobs. It's really the concept of ready-to-play pushed to its climax. The menu navigation is tedious and it would have been nice to have some minor additional editing, but we must repeat, this is a sample player.

  Overall Opinion

  It is now almost a year since I'm on the beast, it is primarily used to place ideas with péchus sounds right out of the plug. For personality it will turn to a synth.
  
  Nexus served its purpose very well drive the sample quality that is placed in a component without any worries.
  
  I use it mainly for sound electro / techno sounds, but allow it to be comfortable on the trance like the drum'n'bass.
  
  
  
  +: Sound quality, energy, easy to understand, perfect for the electro-house
  
  - The price can be a hindrance especially when it is necessary to add the sound bank, used in many current productions.
