For a long time virtual analog instruments were more favored than sampled ones, because the latter didn\u2019t have such broad opportunities for programming the sound. reFx, however, offers all the tools you would ever need with their Nexus 3<\/a>. This Rompler has it all: the vibrant sound of a sampled instrument and the editing potential of a virtual analog synthesizer.\n\n\n\n\n\nNexus 3 is surely on the expensive side of Romplers, but don\u2019t let this throw you off: for $250, you\u2019ll receive the program itself and a sample library<\/a> of over 2750 presets. And they are all worth it. There are deep basses and bright leads, striking drums, moving strings and many more impressive sounds. A lot of samples are reverbed already, but unlike a lot of other synths, reverbs here are perfectly balanced. The sound is not too wet or too dry, and it almost feels alive. Tinkering with these samples is pure enjoyment.\n\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Interface<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nThe program\u2019s\ninterface is very easy to use for everyone from beginners to pro musicians.\nThere is a main window with knobs around it, all split into categories: Filter,\nAmp, Master Filter, Delay, Reverb and Output. A definite plus of the program is\nthat it allows you to layer up to 8 samples together.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe main window, or\ndisplay, as called by reFx, consists of a small screen with 8 buttons on each\nside of it. With the Library<\/em> button\nyou navigate the enormous sound archive. We already mentioned this, but you\nwill surely be delighted with them. You can choose from pads, pianos, basses,\nclassical instruments and others.  The\nbuttons around open up different options for fixing the sound just for your\nliking. You can use one of the suggested presets are create something of your\nown. The options are endless.\n\nThe\nMod<\/em> button leads to modulation\nmatrix, whose options are already more than enough to sculpt your sample. Then,\nthere is Arp<\/em>, another great tool,\nsurely one of the best arpeggirators I have seen. Up next is TG<\/em>, or Trance Gate, great for looping. Freq<\/em>, a visual frequency analyzer, is a\nrare find on the synth market, but surely useful for visual people. Mix<\/em> allows you to go into detail and\nenhance your sample even more by changing certain aspects either for all of the\nlayers, or just one. Live<\/em> is purely\nan information tool, showing news about reFx\u2019s last updates and expansion. Last\nbut not least, there\u2019s Sys<\/em> to change\nthe velocity curve, transpose, add or subtract voices.\n\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nAll in all, Nexus 3 is one of the greatest synths right now. It\u2019s what you could call a \u201cone size fits all\u201d: a great investment, regardless of your level as a producer. As you progress on your journey and learn, Nexus 3 will surely not lose its value and will continue to be a useful tool. Its potential is endless; you could use it for almost every EDM genre and subgenre out there. Perhaps, one of the only synthesizers you will ever need.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPC minimum system requirements :<\/em>\n\n\n\n\n
