hi all,

does anyone of you have experience with xfers nerve drum machine? opinions, drawbacks, etc?

http://www.xferrecords.com/products/nerve

is it stable, how´s the cpu demand, how are the features to be valued, does it need a dongle, etc?
thanks in advance for some info...

Stable. CPU is very low. No dongle. It is an amazing, amazing piece of software. It lends itself to EDM-style production, but really, you can use it for anything.

There are too many little secret-weapon moves you can do with it to list here - seriously - suffice to say that Nerve is worth the price of admission.

Nerve is stable here with low CPU demand as well. The sequencing and sample shaping tools are excellent. I highly recommend watching the official Nerve videos from Steve Duda, if you haven't already.

Steve Duda is a very respectable developer. He goes leaps and bounds to help his customers. Low CPU use and a very interesting and useable sound. Somebody just sold one in the marketplace for 99 dollars. :O

It's the best… Fast, amazing interface the kits and sounds are excellent. It's one of a few plugins that (like Urs stuff), I really respect the programming… like it was developed by someone who gets it. I use it and Microtonic for all my drum stuff.

i use it for preparing and playing loops
you can get some real good stuff out of it
the precalc effects can clean/dirty up a sample nicely
if you buy second hand it will be NFR

My go to drum sampler before i bought maschine (of course the hardware integration is why it replaces nerve for me).

Nerve itself is really fun, you can do many stuff with its pre-calc effect, and the sequencer have some nice trick in itself.

Nerve is a feature-packed program and as already stated, low CPU and very stable. Only wish is for the pre calc section to be bigger, my eyes are getting old. Duda is a pretty smart dude. No dongle involved. Steve emails a serial.

Nerve is really, really great, i did a lot of stuff for it and it's really fun to play with it around…!

Some betas were not stable but the last versions are really stable running on my mac…

I don't know if it's like before but the demo was never updated, still at version 1.0 so it was missing a lot of stuff.

My experience with xfer has been mostly positive. Duda knows his stuff as far as programming goes.

Does anyone have an opinion of Nerve vs SparkLE? I know slightly different but also similar...Im trying to decide - Nerve software is cool and also light on CPU which is a big plus - but Spark has the hardware...

xfer - nerve... does anyone have experience with it?
