I just purchased Nexus 5 so I am very interested in this skin package. I will certainly consider a purchase when they are released.

Any timeline for release?

Sorry for the late reply. The skins will probably be available sometime in the fall, but definitely not for free. A lot of work went into them, a lot. Considering the quantity and quality, it will definitely be a fair price.

Due to work on PunchBox 2 and some preset packs (which have actually been waiting to be finalized for months – especially Serum 2), the project has been pushed back a bit, sorry! But it's definitely autumn!

I am not a Nexus user but I will say those are nice looking skins. My favourite is the Juno one. It makes the section more clear. It's easier to see everything going quickly.

Ditto. I'm not saying I'd get Nexus just to use these skins but, I'm not NOT saying that either.

I am also enjoying your skins for Vanguard 2, which I do have.

Here’s a quick update on the UI skins after a long period of silence - which was mainly due to the final work on PunchBox 2 over the last few months.

I’m back to working on the skins now, but... in the meantime, I started another one that turned out really slick. That brought the total number of UI skins to 16. And well, I don't like odd numbers - so the goal is now 20. And i already working on 17,18 & 20.....

But... I’m out of ideas for #20 - at least regarding something that doesn't look too similar to the existing ones - so if you have any ideas, feel free to share them.

Synths like the Kobol, Crumar Spirit, or Elka-X are too similar to what already exists (visually from the other UI skins). Something exotic like the Crumar Bit-99 (basically replacing all knobs with VCD displays) would probably be too radical. Other exotic options like the Voyetra are hard to implement due to limitations for the skins itself.
The Oberheim SEM or PPG Wave don't really grab my interest. The Minimoog is tricky because only a "single knob" look works. The Roland SH-101 and ARP 2600 are out because they use sliders. That leaves something newer, perhaps along the lines of the Moog Grandmother or Matriarch.

Unless someone here has a good idea for the final UI skin?

Here is the list of what is currently finished or nearly finished:
#01 Waldorf Wave
#02 Waldorff Q (Dark Edition)
#03 Roland SH-5
#04 Korg MS-20
#05 Roland System-100
#06 Roland Jupiter-8
#07 Roland Juno 106
#08 Roland JP-8000
#09 EDP Wasp
#10 Oxford Oscar
#11 Moog Sonic Six
#12 Buchla Easel
#13 Sequential Prophet 5
#14 Moog MemoryMoog
#15 Polivoks
#16 Akai S-1000
#17 Doepfer A-100
#18 Virus TI
#19 Nordlead (don`t know yet if v2 or v4)
#20 ....?

Nexus' roots are in 90s/2000s dance music, so Novation Supernova or maybe even something as crazy as the E-mu XL-7 Command Station would be pretty cool IMO.
