reFX Nexus

Nexus gives you all you need to make a modern dance hit! It aims mainly to all techno/trance producers and gives them an absolute awesome pro sounding library. Some people complained, that they are not able to do sound design with Nexus, but hey: this product has to be seen as a pure ROM / preset player, to give you the fattest dance sounds on earth (I am not joking). Most producers I know, do not even want to do their own sounds from scratch (and not able ;), most are pure preset users (as I am)
I have tried many synths that aim to the dance music, but no synth comes even close to the superior quality of Nexus. No wonder that Vengeance-Sound has made the factory presets (and many expansions)

Yes, there are expansions, to "expand" the basic Nexus. Refx monthly releases Expansion of all kinds of genres. There are expansions for chillout music, Psytrance, Peter Siedlaczek Pianos, real Analog sound, Orchestral, House/Electro, pure dance drums and many more. Refx does the best to improve the variety of sounds, so its not only interesting for trance / dance / hardstyle or whatever, producers.

If you are into modern dance music, you NEED this beast.
Check out the demo (even if it only shows a few presets... the full version comes with more than 750 presets and 4gigaby sample material)
Full version costs around 299$... a fair price for this amount of usable sounds!
