reFX NEXUS5 is out now!

[LoveEnigma18]

Pushed out a few fixes:

Code: Select all

      - Fixed crash when shortening arp pattern.
      - Fixed crash import samples into sample editor.
      - Don't clear slices when importing new sample into sample editor.
      - Fix preset loading progress bar.
      - Add icons and activity meter to layers on routing page.
      - Save default state for keyboard open or closed.
      - Fixed hang loading ProTools projects.
      - Fixed being able to select dividers in librarian.
      - Improved error messages when importing samples.
      - Added option to make default UI retro mode.
      - Fixed crash drawing reverb.
      - Fixed sustain pedal.
      - Fixed changing arp length could cause crashes.

Thanks a lot! I was going to request this today: "Added option to make default UI retro mode."

I hope other UI improvement and default state observations shared earlier will be considered as you move forward with the updates. Looking forward to updating tonight!

Can I just say how terrific this has been? We all know the troubled history of reFX. It's great having you here figbug, and for fixing bugs (and adding features) at lightning speed. This feels like the world's fasting coding job! It feels like the whole picture of the company has transformed. Thanks!

I don't know the history, but I'm also really glad FigBug is here and hope he stays! I think Nexus 5 sounds really good.

Of course any Blade Runner fan will know it doesn't really get going until Nexus 6

Can't believe I've only just caught up with this - it looks absolutely amazing, and the UX/UI is fantastic !! Huge congrats to the team !

Refx Leave only the standard Modifiers on this page:
Filter modifier
Amp modifier
Delay
Reverb
Master filter
On the Routing page, only editing, adding, and so on.

I added the default state of folders being expanded or collapsed is remembered. I have sample editor improvements coming. Skin support is coming back. Were there any other requests I missed?

I would like to modulate parameters on my bottom lane in Layer view, where the sound generators are placed. Like modulate a wavetable position with envelope. Drag and drop modulations don't work on that lane. I can modulate wavetable pos in Layer matrix - but this is some global position for that layer (If i have two wavetables it modulates both).

EDIT: only global modulators seem to work for this parameters (and there is no global envelope).

Updated today, Cubase 14 Pro, Windows 10, Observation:
Still occassionaly audio engine crashes, while editing the arp.

Thought/request.
ALL parameters should be accessible for write automation in DAW, at least those ones which can be modulated internally.
You can achieve that, while connecting them with the macros... but, well - hm.

Thought/request 2:
Add patterns when Arp is in Sequencer mode? Something like in Avenger for the drum kits. Because I think, that the piano roll in Nexus is one of the most beautiful ones I've ever touched.
Apropos piano roll: Note preview is still not possible on the virtual piano keys. And note preview on the grid is not linked to the adjusted transposition of the layer, so the preview is not identical with the result, or has the wrong octave.

In every other regard, this is a huge upgrade!

+1 to piano roll in nexus being impressive

The modulation system is not entirely intuitive at all.
In the FM oscillator I cannot apply MSEG ("ENV") by dragging - only through the modulation matrix. And the operators in the list of parameters are called 1, 2, 3, 4, although in the oscillator they are called A, B, C, D.

Noticed this too, worse, the order is CDAB in the gui, why not just ABCD.

Any Nexus 4 / Cubase 13 users here? Could you make me a project with Nexus 4 VST2?

[Touch The Universe]

In Time stretch mode the phase random min max doesn't seem to work. The phase always retrigs at beginning.

I'm a little confused with the voicing in Nexus 5. I have it set to legato in both the MOD section and the event editor section but the release still seems to run in the amp section. Normally the release goes away in such a mode? Am I missing something?

I updated to the latest version. Sorry, but none of the this/latest improvements seem to be working for me. Even the default retro mode switch isn't working.

I noticed that the problem seems to be with AU plugin (Logic Pro 11.1, macOS 15.1.1, Mac mini M2 Pro), because these settings seem to be working well in VST3VST2 plugin in FL Studio.

Could you please check?

Additionally, I was also expecting the overall UI size and Librarian preset text size to be saved as default. Also, the filter tags look small and a bit dull/muted.

Thank you for your excellent work.
