"I've been following the work of sound designer Manuel Schleis for quite some time now. I've used many of his sounds as an excellent starting point for creating sounds on my JP 8000 and Virus synths. The great news is, with Nexus2 I now have all these massive patches directly available in one plug in that I can save and recall directly with my DAW project. The interface is straightforward and fast to use and the pristine sound quality equals the best hardware synthesizers. I'm a big fan of the Arts Acoustic reverb, so it’s really cool to see that integrated in Nexus2 as well. To put it simply: Nexus2 is an essential must have, get yours today!"
