I remember Omnisphere was more sample-based, and only had a few oscillators. Then they upgraded and added many more oscillators. Which was awesome because I actually preferred the sound of the oscillators over the samples - they just sounded brighter to me.
Either way, all this talk is like nit-picking the tread design on the wheels of a Lamborghini.
Nexus 3, like it or not, many people will surely enjoy, and others will surely nit-pick. All this hype made me fire up Nexus with a massive eye to scrutinize it, but I still can't find anything to complain about. It really is quite amazing sounding and just works so well.

Here is a little Nexus music to calm the mind and sweeten the waiting time:

True, it's a hybrid synth disguised as a rompler
Ah, so it used to be a rompler and its not one anymore.commodore wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 3:23 pm I remember Omnisphere was more sample-based, and only had a few oscillators.

Probably that's why it threw me off

Digital download is available since years and Nexus has never been on iLok as far as I know.
Is it really that hard to read a single page product description or are you just a troll?

Totally agree with this. They should also lose iLok to appeal to a much broader base, iLok isn't going to prevent piracy anyway, so no need to punish the paying customers.VitaminD wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 11:31 pm I hope the new price is below 250 USD. I hate to complain so much about pricing, but this thing is an expandable rompler -- inital cost should be priced lower as one will be buying pricey expansions after getting onboard.
But the issue is first getting on board. No way I'm spending 250 dollars.. or even 200 dollars then turning around and spending another 90 to 180 dollars on a few expansions. Which likely won't end at just buying a few expansions over time... It ends up getting rather expensive long term, so the upfront cost should be lower in my opinion.

Dude, do your homework and stop talking shit. I'm a Nexus user and I never felt punished as a paying customer.X86 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 3:45 pmTotally agree with this.

You know what really punished me? That I payed for my Sylenth1 and FL Studio license but Avicii didn't...

Lose the attitude. Makes you come off as a disgruntled child.

I didn't say anything about Nexus. I don't have anything against the plugin it's the developer I can't stand.
It's this nonsense that a "Rompler" is somehow a lower life form than some two Osc Analog with four waveforms that I'm pushing back against.
Sample based synths certainly deserve to be respected as synths just as much as any other form of synthesis.
Back in the late 80's early 90's they dominated the synth market around here in large part because of the whole new world of sounds they were capable of creating. When I worked in a music store they far outsold any other form of synthesis other than perhaps FM due to the popularity of the DX series and we never called them Romplers.....we called them synths.
None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

This response from you makes zero sense in the context of our communication.steve.lindqvist wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 3:55 pmLikewise and sure, when you stop talking about iLok.
