Very interested in this one, will probably pick it up soon. I like that Nexus will finally get some competition; I agree with the fact that Nexus's factory library should be updated and there really aren't that many ROMplers out there that have a "modern" sound. In terms of a demo, I don't think Nexus has one. Plus I really hate the ******* dongle, so that's a plus.
One thing though is that I generally use ROMplers for acousticy stuff and layering, and I've been begging reFx for a more Workstation-esque expansion (like a Motif or Fantom or something). Hopefully some of Lethal's expansions are focused on "real" instruments, like saxophones, brass, strings, etc. The Lethal facotry library seems to have a decent (and they sound good from the audio demo), but most of it is synth-oriented. The patches sounds really nice to me. I mean huge Kontakt libraries are great, but sometimes it helps to have some decent sounding patches to sketch out a track that load quick and use not much CPU.

It would be great if someone who can actually play a little went through a selection of the presets, I like the reviewer but it doesn't do any justice to the VST when you are fumbling around like that. A midi file even .

Time for the first expansion pack or? Any date announced? Imo i could easily drop all this free libraries (we'll see if they really come every month till mid 2017) and getting the rompler for $79..

1st expansion to be released next week. Apparently, lethal are going to be naming the expansion presets properly.

Cool! Looking forward to the demo tho' i don't like c/r online activation with zero info about the developer (What when they are gone in a year?). I don't know how it function in other countries but here in germany you must announce the name etc. of the individual which is responsible and running the site/business.gebz_15 wrote:1st expansion to be released next week.

What sold it for me was 4 nexus expansions would cost about the same as lethal so even if lethal go bust I wouldn't have lost anything as its like buying 4 expansions.
But,if they do well I will have loads of expansions given for free until 2017 and be able to buy more for a lesser price.

In order to buy Nexus2 expansions, kind of goes without saying that you own it, so you won't lose anything than either owning 4 expanions to use.gebz_15 wrote:What sold it for me was 4 nexus expansions would cost about the same as lethal so even if lethal go bust I wouldn't have lost anything as its like buying 4 expansions.
And doesn't Nexus2 come with 10 free expansions from the get go?
NEXUS2 includes these free expansions and more. Every year, during our Christmas sale, we add another one. So even if you're on a budget, you have a steadily increasing library of top-notch sounds.

Yes nexus does come with free expansions, free ridiculously old expansions that sound bad. Every year they add another one that no one would buy anyways. Pretty ridiculous to dump $250 for a rompler with stock sounds from 2008 topped off with a dongle and a waste of a usb slot.
Lethal seems to be taking advantage of the downsides of nexus. Not only is it cheaper, but the sounds are fresh and new. No historic sounds from the dinosaur age or a dongle. Free expansions for a year and allegedly cheaper after that.

After getting some time to play with lethal for a while this weekend, I can say that I'm happy with the purchase.
Good:
The basses and lead noises are really well done I think. They sound very professional and I quickly found things that just worked really well in the mix. The interface is super easy to use. I LOVE the trancegate and arp features. As a trance producer, they are incredibly helpful to have built in to the synth.
Not so good:
The pads leave a lot to be desired, but that could be because of the not-great reverb that is part of the plugin. I kept finding that the pads and other instruments like the guitar plucks are very metalic sounding. (again, probably from the reverb). I'd try them out in the mix, but they were just too piercing. I'd like to hear much smoother pad noises.
Overall:
There is quite a bit of factory content, but it was kind of a mixed bag for me of what worked and what didn't work in a mix. But overall am happy with the purchase. Looking forward to hearing more expansions.

Hip Hop expansions released tomorrow!commodore wrote: Looking forward to hearing more expansions.
I have used a future house and bass preset and I love them. When I get a chance to finish my tracks I will put them up.
Peace out.
