It is a real pleasure to mix those sounds. That reverb just adds some additional space and roundness. Don’t get me wrong: Almost all instruments in Nexus 2 have implemented reverb as a send effect, but they don’t sound drowned in it as some modern synths can sound. Thankfully Nexus 2 doesn’t fall into this category it sounds strong and defined without leaving that wet impression of reverb overdose. Take off the reverb and you have the sound of plucking a hen leave the reverb and this chosen sound overtakes the whole space. A lot of modern virtual synths sound too wet, being soaked in too much reverb, making it almost impossible to put them right in a mix. The main advantage of Nexus 2 is that all those sounds sound just right, without being overloaded with reverb. Very inspirational pianos, all in all, this is pure producer’s heaven. (More real instruments can be found in some extensions.) I didn’t try them all, but until now I haven’t found any bad ones: basses, leads, pads, arpeggios, plucked instruments, epic electric pianos - nope, it is not the name of the category, they really sound pretty epic - various out-of-this-world textures, and a few real instruments. For €249 ($299 USD) you get a Nexus 2 DVD filled with more than 1100 presets. As we already said, Nexus 2 is a Rompler or “ROM synthesizer” as they call it on the reFX site.
