«  Not too bad »

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.
