Great news! I've spent into the thousands on nexus, but I can understand a paid update / new version. Lets just hope its reasonably priced.
As far as the black friday release, I'm hoping thats to tie in with a special black friday upgrade price.

Same here - I have very many expansions, and hoping that the upgrade price is reasonable. Here is what I'm thinking:
$200 - eh, probably will have to save or seriously consider other options
$150 - The max I would drop but also a bit pissed
$100 - Happy to pay it - especially for the new content it would provide
$50 - well, I doubt it would be that cheap - but hey, I'd be ecstatic!

I'm also wondering where the line will be drawn between Nexus 3 and Avenger. So far, I am using Avenger a lot more than Nexus 2, but mainly because of Avenger's sample import. There is no reason Avenger can't also be a rompler just like Nexus - right? So what features of Nexus will help it to stand out against Avenger? Anyways, I try not to be too picky to the developers. Consumers have so many amazing options its hard to know who to throw money at... much different from when I started producing music. I'll always love Nexus - just for the simplicity and quality it provides. And Avenger is a sound design monster I could mess with for hours on end.
Also - that said, I'm saving all my allotted "black friday" money for Nexus and Avenger upgrades/expansions. or a new i9 9900k processor

Perhaps they will price it cheaper than Avenger. In that case you will be wasting your money if you simply buy Avenger to use as a preset machine when you can get Nexus 3.commodore wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 2:39 pm I'm also wondering where the line will be drawn between Nexus 3 and Avenger.

Well we don't know what N3 will bring yet, but I imagine more of the same only with (hopefully) a better browser and scaleable UI. I think you answered your own question - nexus is a relatively simple resource friendly preset machine, and avenger is the mother of all synthesis. It depends how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go that day!commodore wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 2:39 pm I'm also wondering where the line will be drawn between Nexus 3 and Avenger.

Hope it's got a decent browser now, and can finally stack n layer patches.

Definitely not interested in romplers in 2019 at all and especially at those silly prices they charge for xp packs which are mostly filled with mediocre sounds you will most probably never ever use.

romplers are great for old guys like me that prefer 80's and 90's
music to today's music. so all i'll ever need is M1, sometimes Wavestation and Ravity(s)

actually the truth is, they are filled with top notch sounds of the best sound designers on the planet, and nearly every preset is straight usable out of the box in your track and instantly inspiring to play cool melodies. The success of their XPs and the vast use in sooo many current productions confirm this.they charge for xp packs which are mostly filled with mediocre sounds you will most probably never ever use.

Yes of course it will be much more. My point was that it had just would had been great to get the scalable UI as a free upgrade (like discussed in the past). Now it is packed into version 3 along with new content etc. i personally don't need that much. That's all. I will pay for the upgrade now because it has the scaleable UI.

Once we are all excited about nexus, lets me ask for those that have It:
In what is it really good? For what is it used most and whats are its specialities?

Better than this only the silence. Better than the silence only John.

For me it's great for genre stuff that - ahem - I might not have a deep abiding fascination in, but sometimes need to do. The expansion presets tend to be excellent, and authentic to their respective genres. Finally - not to be sneezed at - the resource hit is extremely low.
The dream for me is the aforementioned tag browser, and a well designed mixer, preferebly with all the parts labelled. At the moment its fiddly guesswork to pull apart a complex patch to just the elements you need. Oh, and sep outs on the different mixer elements.
