I've used quite a few reFX things for my latest productions so I always check their site and saw this thing called "NEXUS". It's really amazing because it's so hands on! Most presets are usuable instantly and the editing is simple and effective. It's the most impressive synth I've installed in the last year.

I looove the nexus, it has all the famous sounds in its presets and it has an easy and clear setup that's perfect for endless tweaking to get that one sound you wanted!

We've used Nexus 2 for Inna's songs and other international projects. We are working with these synths since they first appeared and we are really impressed about them. Also, we are curious to see the expansion packs these boys will come up with in the future. Right now we are rockin' the clubs using Nexus 2!

I love the Nexus² instrument. It is very user friendly, with a wide range of powerful sounds. The expansion packs are great, so you are up to date with the latest sounds. In my upcoming records you will definitely hear this device back. This is a must have for every producer of various styles.

Nexus is amazing !! It's a must have in your virtual studio !
In my every big production, dance, trance... orchestral... The NEXUS take place!
Nexus is perfect for every style...

THX to reFX!

You are my GRAAL!!!!!!!!

I heard about Nexus2 by all my top producers friends before try it out, now it has become one of my best synths for each of my productions and remixes. It's sound amazin with his own effects and permit to make any sound you could have in mind easily by his own presets. An absolute must have!

Nexus 2 is simply amazing... ever since we got it, it's one of the first synths we open up when starting a new project. With such a sh*load of great expansions, it's an endless source of inspiration for novice and advanced users . You'll surely hear a lot of Nexus² sounds in our upcoming album!

I've been following the work of sound designer Manuel Schleis for quite some time now. I've used many of his sounds as an excellent starting point for creating sounds on my JP 8000 and Virus synths. The great news is, with Nexus2 I now have all these massive patches directly available in one plug in that I can save and recall directly with my DAW project. The interface is straightforward and fast to use and the pristine sound quality equals the best hardware synthesizers. I'm a big fan of the Arts Acoustic reverb, so it’s really cool to see that integrated in Nexus2 as well. To put it simply: Nexus2 is an essential must have, get yours today!

As a great user of analog instruments, it is probably one of the first time, with a virtual synth such as the Nexus 2, that I can really compare the texture, the transients, the impact of the low range and the diversity of the sounds with what I find in an analog machine.
The interface is easy to use, the arpeggiator is really cool, and the sounds find always their place in a mix.
The Nexus 2 is already one of my favorite synths of all time!

I LOVE Nexus2 ...the presets are absolutely awesome.....and i love the very quick access to great sounding Reverbs & Delays....and best of all it's so easy to use. I've been using this thing for ages....and now with Nexus2...the reFX team have made it even better! For Dance & Electro it is THE BOMB, anyone wanting to make this type of music MUST have this!

The nexus-1 was already a great tool for producing my last album 'Twice in a Blue Moon'. Can't wait to get my hands on the Nexus-2. Absolutely one the best software-synth i had so far.

I really love Nexus 2 and the incredible expansion packs. I use them for almost every broadcast musicproduction . With the ease to use GUI and the fresh and clear layout it will fit my needs and makes me getting a smile when working in the studio. THanks Re:FX for this high-quality tool.

Ian Carey:
Trying hard to find a patch I don’t like with Nexus2 is an impossible task. To say this is my "Go To" plugin would be an understatement. Vengeance just seem to have a knack of getting it right.Period!

Brad Holland:
I've been working closely with Ian on productions now for 3 years, and I cant recall one project that we haven’t used something by Vengeance on. These guys ARE DANCE MUSIC. Nexus2 is the orchestra!

When I start creating a new track, it's standard to open a Nexus 2 unit.
There are so many sounds in this great machine!
You always can use it as a leadsound or layer it with other synths, to get a fresh new creation.
All these banks, presets and this machine together makes a beautiful pearl, which can be used in every studio!

Nexus 2 stands way above many plug in ROM players. The sounds are sonically excellent and have complimented every production I have used them on with ease. Big round basses and fat synths that sit in the mix comfortably. Wide soaring strings and lush pads. The comprehensive editing options allow sounds to be sculpted to suit your needs. The Effects are great, again adding another flavour to the mix with stunning results. I just love that reverb. Also a selection of skins for that added inspiration...... Bill Killed, C64 or Killer Tomato?

Powerful, versatile, professional and fun.

Nexus is an integral part of our studio set up's, and is used in all our productions.
It's quite simply the first port of call when creating a track, even passing the hardware units to get the sound you want straight away.
The quality of the Delay / Reverbs is outstanding, as are the editable features of the Arp, Trance Gate and Modulation section.
A soft synth for music producers globally, with expansions to cover every style of music, this is a must have for any budding producers or hit makers.

I love synths that I open, browes through the presets and already have tons of ideas for tracks. thats what I would call an inspirational instrument. a violist probably gets this feeling when he touchs a "Stradivari". I got the feeling when I opened Nexus2. it sounds amazing. I can't wait to produce with it. I love it!

With it's ease of use, Nexus² integrated perfectly in my existing setup. You got all essential sounds together (like in the good old rompler days) and you can edit and access the sounds quickly. Especially for creative brainstorming and melody finding, its a genius tool! You can integrate many sounds into your productions "as they are", since they already fit in the mix very well. The outstanding and flexible arpeggiator is the cherry on the top...

NEXUS is truly MIND BLOWING. I have never heard sounds like these before. Not only the quality of the sound, but also the quality level and attention to detail with how easy it is to use the product and truly in less then minutes you can create your very own sounds and presets. I mostly started composing for Feature Film production as well as composing electro and trance . . and now with NEXUS offering more expansions I'll have everything I need in one software. If you are a Trance Producer , this is A MUST HAVE people.

You guys at REFX deserve an OSCAR for such an incredible product. Thank you so much for making this possible for all musicians out there.

This is probably the synth that is the most related to the music I produce and the most complete. Everything is there from classic string sounds to the most cutting edge electronic sounds. Nexus² also has some really powerfull FX and arpeggios.These guys are incredible!

Nexus is the most used tool in any of our projects, Anyone we know who is making quality dance music is using nexus!
Its simplicity and choice of sounds is second to none. If you want the results you need to own it.

This Synth is so off the chain!! I use it for everything and all styles!! Hands down the Best Overall Synth on the market today!! YOU GOTTA GET IT!!!! I'm using it on all the new projects i'm currently working on!! G & Dre My New Artist With the song "Gamechangerz" on iTunes now, you will hear a wide range of the sounds used quite differently on this R&B track!! It's really great!! The SFX are amazing!! "NEXUS" is My BREAD AND BUTTER!!!! Greg Curtis Sr.

I have produced clubmusic since 1991, where we used Ataris with 1MB RAM. I never thought virtual Instruments could substitute "Real" synths. With the release of reFx´s Vanguard i changed my mind, I always found that you cant top it, especially in any kind of Dancemusic.

Since i work with the Nexus², i know this is not true. The flexibility is much greater, the varity of Sound enormous plus the expansion banks give you the possibilty to upgrade your sounds easily.

This is really one of the most flexible Plugins we have ever come across. Besides it’s easy to use and extremely flexible GUI, we love the fact that with the expansion packs you’re always up to date with the latest sounds, without having to learn new tools and develop new workflow. It is a real `future safe´tool. Sound is of upmost quality, crystal clear and in no case lacks in pressure. The Nexus is our secret weapon, a sure shot

Nexus² has proven itself to be very valuable in our setup! Especially during the pre production process. You simply have all the important basic and standard sounds from the whole electronic dance music scene, so you can start to work in no time... With some tweaks, many sounds find their way into our tracks!

What I really appreciate with Nexus, is the simplicity of its use. You can find the sound that fits you within few minutes, and then you can modify it as much as you want, until you find your personal touch. The other big advantage of Nexus is that you can add expansions to improve it, its one of the plug-ins you must have on your computer

I love Nexus, it's so easy to do a cool track with those cool sounds! The power of this synth is really amazing. If you want to make people dancing on your own stuff, turn your Nexus on and pick up some of the great sounds!!!

My favorite FAT instrument plugin. I've used the Nexus in my last productions and remix.

Nexus is one of my best plugin ever....really easy to use and always a great sound.
The version 2 is even better with the new banks... I gonna use them all this year... Big support from me!

Nexus² is my "flexible friend". Its versatility and its brilliant sound quality is groundbreaking. Another advantage is the clean and nice GUI or the direct and easy access to all the sounds - no other synth offers this in such an cool and productive form. Due its constantly increasing amount of expansions, I have the possibility to discover new worlds of sound all the time!

Nexus² is an all encompassing synth. From low end dirty bass sounds to
screetching high end leads, coupled together with its ease of use, it has
quickly become a standard go-to-synth in my arsenal. Solid!

NEXUS sounds and plays like it was made for musicians by musicians.

You are going to install this synth and get using these sounds in your tracks straight away, and very little additional processing is necessary. It's also great to find a built in reverb that is so smooth and rivals good quality hardware reverbs. In a digital sample-based synth, the raw currency is good quality samples. Rather than see how many gigs they could fill with average samples, it feels like a proper RD team has put the kind of energy into the plugin that a big hardware synth manufacturer would have in the past. Something I feel that's been missing from the virtual synth world.

Very refreshing, and the whole team should be very proud of this achievement!

I have been waiting ages for a rompler such as NEXUS. Finally, an extremely flexible rom-player, which is easy to use at the same time, has arrived in the virtual studio world.

The highly intuitive GUI and the clear layout, merged with an FX-section of high quality, enables you to work quickly and creatively without disturbing your workflow. And due to the growing number of expansions, you are always up-to-date with new sounds. This is a congenial concept which has been realized brilliantly.

NEXUS is a must-have!

Within 30 seconds of testing the NEXUS demo, I was hooked and since I have installed this monster in the studio a layer of dust has formed on most of the hardware and my inspiration levels have really increased. The NEXUS is by far the best rompler on the market in my opinion, and it simply oozes quality with great in-built reverb and quirky skins : The reFX team should all get one hell of a pat on the back for unleashing this beauty.

I have just finished producing / co-writing an album for Nettwerk artist DJ Andy Hunter. I got NEXUS for the project & have been bowled over by the sheer quality & variety of sounds that slot in the mix so effortlessly!

NEXUS is a fantastic product! I use it in every production. I already sold lots of my hardware, since NEXUS is easy to use, has a quick workflow and it sounds even fatter than all other synths I know...My No. 1 workhorse in the studio!

I lalalalove NEXUS !!! It sounds incredibly inspiring, and present "in your face". If I'd had this plugin ten years ago, I could have written twice the number of hit singles in half the time... -- NEXUS brings a bundle of incredible sounds, great sounding delay, reverb and filters, a clear and easy to use interface, everything to tweak those knobs is right there. It's the electronic-producer's must-have-weapon-of-choice! NEXUS is one of the best additions to my plugin folder.

NEXUS is the only usable sample-based synth on the market! In the beginning of a track, __We Do Have A Plan__ on how it should sound - so Nexus is perfect for those big time moments when you're in the zone and just want to have fun fun fun and not spending ours tweaking sounds. I vote Yes for this one!

NEXUS is THE highly tweakable "preset machine" I've been waiting for...I love software with total recall and the sounds of Nexus are easily on par with the hardware I have. I'll be definitely using Nexus in my future productions, just going thru a fraction of the basic presets I already found several sounds that I bookmarked and with the expansions there seems to be very few limits to this thing.

Nexus 2 is a weapon !!! This all round machine with it's huge sound is excellent for every kind of dance music !

It is perfectly structured and you find the sounds you need within seconds.

We use it in every production and looking forward for the upcoming expansions !

A must have in your virtual studio rack !

I used NEXUS on my track **"I Found U"** for the piano sound, and I really like the simplicity of NEXUS, it's easy to find the sound you want and then, with the filters, it's easy to get it to sound exactly how you like.

Nexus is one of the best Software Synthesizers so far.
It's the perfect all in one solution for modern music prodction, no matter what style you prefer!
The combination of good sound, easy and quick workflow is outstanding.
A must have!!!!

The design of Nexus is very clear and transparent. FX, sounds (incl.
expansions), filter etc... are just awesome.
Since the purchase I have used it in every production... I can not imaging working without Nexus any more.

Nexus convinced me from the first moment I played with it. The superb quality of the sounds and the quick access to the "up to date" library make our production life a lot easier.
The presets are ready to use, and let us use them with just little but sensible modifications in the way we want. Especially the lead sounds and the bass sound please me a lot, but the pads and choirs are great too. A must have for me!

Nexus is a must-have ! This is programmed perfection. Powerful sounds that support your production process to achieve the optimal result. If you want the best, you have to own it.

NEXUS is incredible ! Anyone reading this should just go straight to the purchase page and buy it. It's very powerful yet very easy to use. You can utilize so many sounds for a variety of musical styles. Obviously, dance being the most comprehensive- the sounds also fit perfectly into urban, hip hop, d'n'b,etc. The minute I opened the synth and started using it- it became my main synth in every big remix and production Im working on. I cant say enough wonderful things about NEXUS....now I just cant wait to get some of the expansion packs !

I am overwhelmed! Nexus is an easy to use synthesizers with a very big variety of fantastic sounds.

The FX section (especially the reverb) is absolutely outstanding and unique on the virtual instrument market. The GUI and overall design convince me all the way. Nexus will be heard on all my forthcoming productions.

Nexus is purely amazing !! we cannot work without it since we purchased it !! the power of a real synth with all the advantages of a Vst rompler. Each sounds of each expansions can be used for powerfull and professionnal tracks. The most difficult thing with the Nexus is to find Which sound we could use !!! Nexus is perfect for every style of productions, the other Romplers which can propose the same things as the Nexus are more expensive and do not have such warm sounds. Nexus is simply perfect for beginners and professionals... Definetly one of the best VST we ever used ! Thanx Mates for this fantastic product !
