The package also comes with a USB eLicense dongle, so you need an extra USB port on your machine. The full installation with all the expansion packs requires roughly 50GB. However, my previous laptop which had 2GB RAM used to take quite a number of seconds for the plugin to load and running several instances of it would slow down my PC, so you need to have a decent amount of RAM to run this smoothly. I have 4GB RAM on my current machine so that's not an issue. Once installed it takes up roughly 5GB on your hard drive and it requires a minimum of 2GB RAM to run smoothly. Installation of the plugin is straight-forward. It runs on both Mac and PC and can be installed as a VST, AU, AAX or RTAS plugin. There are expansion packs for adding on extra sounds, which cost an extra $40 - $65 per pack. My main aim was to use it in my dance music productions but I've ended up using it more in my hip hop beats. I first got it when I saw a demo song on YouTube and was impressed with the clarity and fatness of the sounds. All the sounds are clean if you run it through a spectrum analyzer you'll see that each sound is shaped really well which makes fitting the sound into a mix quite easy. The quality of the sound backs is brilliant. The complete package costs a hefty $3,539. The basic edition with no expansion packs included costs $299. It has a variety of patches ranging from pads, pianos, basses, horns and orchestral sounds, arpeggios and various other sounds. Nexus is a rompler which has a lot of clean sounds, most usable within dance and electronic music.
