You can also apply various effects, such as reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, phaser, distortion, filter, EQ, compressor, limiter, gate, and stereo enhancer.


One of the most powerful features of ReFX Nexus VSTi is the arpeggiator, which allows you to create complex and dynamic patterns with your sounds.

You can also control the speed, swing, octave range, gate length, shuffle, and accent of the arpeggiator.


Another feature that sets ReFX Nexus VSTi apart from other virtual instrument plugins is the routing system, which lets you edit and customize the signal flow of each sound. You can choose from four different modes of routing: single layer, split keyboard, velocity layer, or crossfade layer. You can also edit the individual layers of each sound, which consist of up to four oscillators and two insert effects. You can change the waveform, pitch envelope, filter envelope, amp envelope, and modulation envelope of each oscillator.


ReFX Nexus VSTi also allows you to change the appearance and theme of the plugin interface using different skins.

Arpeggiator




The arpeggiator feature is another powerful and creative feature of ReFX Nexus VSTi 1.0.9. It allows you to create complex and dynamic patterns with your sounds, without having to program them manually. You can access the arpeggiator feature by clicking on the "ARP" button on the top right corner of the plugin interface.


The arpeggiator feature has three main sections: the mode section, the pattern section, and the modulation section. The mode section lets you choose from four different modes of arpeggiation: up, down, up/down, and random. You can also adjust the speed, swing, octave range, gate length, shuffle, and accent of the arpeggiator.


The pattern section lets you choose from over 2000 presets of arpeggios and sequences, or create your own using the step sequencer. You can edit each step of the sequence by clicking on it and changing its note value, velocity, tie, slide, or mute status. You can also copy, paste, clear, or randomize the steps using the buttons on the bottom of the pattern section.


The modulation section lets you add movement and expression to your arpeggios and sequences using the modulation matrix. You can assign up to four modulation sources to four modulation destinations, and adjust the amount and curve of each modulation. The modulation sources include LFOs, envelopes, velocity, aftertouch, mod wheel, pitch bend, etc. The modulation destinations include pitch, volume, pan, filter cutoff, filter resonance, etc.


Routing




The routing feature is another feature that sets ReFX Nexus VSTi 1.0.9 apart from other virtual instrument plugins. It lets you edit and customize the signal flow of each sound, as well as the individual layers of each sound. You can access the routing feature by clicking on the "SYS" button on the top right corner of the plugin interface.


The routing feature has two main sections: the mode section and the layer section. The mode section lets you choose from four different modes of routing: single layer, split keyboard, velocity layer, or crossfade layer. Each mode has its own advantages and disadvantages depending on your needs and preferences.


  • Single layer mode: This is the simplest and most straightforward mode of routing. It uses only one layer for each sound, which means that you can only use one oscillator and two insert effects for each sound. This mode is ideal for simple and clean sounds that do not require much complexity or variation.



  • Split keyboard mode: This mode allows you to split your keyboard into two zones and assign a different layer to each zone. This means that you can use two oscillators and four insert effects for each sound. This mode is ideal for creating complex and diverse sounds that require different sounds for different parts of your keyboard.



  • Velocity layer mode: This mode allows you to assign different layers to different velocity ranges of your keyboard. This means that you can use up to four oscillators and eight insert effects for each sound. This mode is ideal for creating realistic and expressive sounds that respond to your playing dynamics.



  • Crossfade layer mode: This mode allows you to crossfade between two layers using a controller of your choice (such as mod wheel or aftertouch). This means that you can use two oscillators and four insert effects for each sound. This mode is ideal for creating smooth and seamless transitions between different sounds.



The layer section lets you edit the individual layers of each sound, which consist of up to four oscillators and two insert effects. You can change the waveform, pitch envelope, filter envelope, amp envelope, and modulation envelope of each oscillator. You can also change the type, order, mix level, and parameters of each insert effect. Skins




The skins feature is another feature that adds to the appeal and usability of ReFX Nexus VSTi 1.0.9. It allows you to change the appearance and theme of the plugin interface using different skins. You can access the skins feature by clicking on the "SKIN" button on the top right corner of the plugin interface.


The skins feature has two main sections: the skin section and the skin editor section. The skin section lets you choose from over 40 skins that are included with the plugin, or download more from the official website. You can preview each skin by clicking on its name or thumbnail. You can also rate each skin by clicking on the stars below its name.


The skin editor section lets you create your own skins using the skin editor tool that is available for free. You can access the skin editor tool by clicking on the "EDIT" button on the bottom of the skin section. The skin editor tool allows you to customize every aspect of the plugin interface, such as colors, fonts, images, icons, buttons, sliders, knobs, etc. You can also save, load, export, or import your custom skins using the file menu of the skin editor tool.
