This is the new Nexus
Faster, bigger, better in every way
Features
New Librarian
Completely new librarian. It's large so it can fit all the content available for NEXUS3!
It features three columns for easy navigation, and displays counters for folders, categories, and presets.
Color-coded tags, bookmarks, favorites, and a dedicated location for user presets.
Easily find what you're looking for with instant sound preview, search-while-you-type, filter by category and tags, and so much more.
New Arpeggiator
Time for an arpeggiator overhaul.
Access all sixteen layer arpeggiators, in addition to the main arpeggiator.
Extend the pattern length up to 256 steps and play the most complex patterns you can come up with.
Throw in improvements for more comfortable editing and experimentation, and the result is the best Arpeggiator you can find on the market.
Effects
Fully revamped effects page. Now with visualization of the signal-flow to give you real-time feedback.
You see what you hear and you hear what you see.
Four insert effects, four equalizers, filter, reverb, delay, impulse, and limiter. Color-coded for navigating incredibly fast.
All on one page. No clicking back and forth countless times to get to the desired result.
New Sequencer
NEXUS3 features a brand-new sequencer mode. It's easy. It's intuitive. Give it a try!
Nothing stands between you and those chords you've always wanted to put down.
Create the most complex patterns with multiple notes per step and set the velocity individually. Zoom in on the x-axis or the y-axis to make fine adjustments or zoom out to have an overview of the full pattern.
New Vector-Based GUI
Sharp and crisp. Always. Resize to what is convenient for you.
No matter the resolution of your screen, NEXUS3 always looks good.
New Macros, More Modulation
Four quick-access macro controls and a total of 20 modulation slots.
Convenient and easy to use.
New Cloud-Sync Feature
Automatically store your favorites, bookmarks, user presets, and settings in the cloud.
Getting back your content when installing NEXUS3 on a new computer has never been easier.
Fast, Easy on the Resources
NEXUS has never been faster and better!
Preset loading times and CPU performance have been vastly improved.
Compatible with NEXUS2
NEXUS3 is compatible with your existing NEXUS2 library. Load your old beats into your DAW and load the sounds you've had before.
Upgrading has never been smoother.
More Sounds
NEXUS3 expands the factory content by more than 350 new, high-quality, hand-crafted presets.
Because one can never have too many sounds.
