reFX Nexus 3, the most expensive Synthesizer plugin ($1999 with all expansions) has been massively overworked with a new interface, librarian, arp/sequencer, effects & more

It took a little bit longer, but a new version of Nexus is out. Whether it is a full-fledged Synthesizer or a rompler is up to anyone. However, it is one of the most widely used plugins on the market, especially because of its many sounds that you can use immediately. The new version is a huge update and brings a lot of new features and improvements. One new feature is a new completely new color-coded librarian that simplifies the navigation through the sound libraries.

Further, it comes with a new 16-layer arpeggiator with up to 256 steps, a reworked effect section, a chord sequencer, and a brand new vector-based GUI. On top, it offers four quick-access macro controls and 20 modulation slots.

Good decisions: all existing Nexus 2 libraries are compatible with Nexus 2 and the new version no longer uses dongles or third-party tools for registration. Plus, you get more than 350 new high-quality, hand-craft presets. A nice update for this best-known plugin.
