Installation :
Some antivirus programs remove the Nexus3.39.dll file. Disable antivirus (or add this file to the exceptions)
1. Mount the Nexus 3 Installation Files.iso image
2. Find the Copy to folder Nexus Content in the mounted image, open it and copy all files from it. Go to the path where you saved the files from this distribution, namely to the reFX Nexus 3 folder and in it in the Nexus Content and paste the copied files
3. Find the Copy to DISK C folder in the image and copy the Users folder from it and paste it into the root of Disk C (open Disk C and paste the Users folder into this location)
4. Also from the Copy to DISK folder, copy the VST folder to the folder where your plugins are stored. For example C: Program Files Steinberg VSTPlugins
5. Go to the path C: Users Public Documents reFX nexus (aka Drive C: Users General Shared Documents reFX nexus) and open the settings.json file with notepad
6. Find the line “library_folder”: “E: \ reFX Nexus 3 \ Nexus Content”, and change this path E: \ reFX Nexus 3 \ Nexus Content to your own to the Nexus Content folder. Please note that the path uses two characters \ and then save the changes in this file
The size of the Nexus Content folder should be as follows:
In the Nexus itself, everything should turn out like this:
Holy shit thanks you
Aint no damn seeders for this … 🙁
works fine or it’s a joke????
Doesn’t work 4 me…when i open…the vst request e-mail & password
Not working, wasted my time.
get it to load but no sound
vst request e-mail & password
Please vstorrent.org …or R2R team help us
Make sure that everything is in the same place as the installation folders. I had the same issue with the e-mail and password request, try to check this place: Users – Public – Documents – reFX – nexus, the first time I changed the nexus name with “Nexus 3” but it doesn’t work like that, so make sure that the name of the nexus folder is the same as the installation without uppercase or other things.
Trojan in DLL – Ransomware – avoid
I get “email and password to activate”
to me opens the program but does not find me presets
nexus 3 activate ..plz
Q-ban
Same here
As soon as I change the 1st presets I loose sound.
everything working correctly, just follow the steps, the installation is a little complicated but it works.
It can’t find my presets
it works!!
How to solve the presets missing:
When you replace the path directory make sure that you use double “/” each. For example:
C:// documents // Plubic // Nexus content etc
this cannot be the real thing as my Cubase recognises it as VST 2 32 bit and Nexus 3 is only 64 bit, has to be FAKE, or if you know otherwise please let us know
I take my word back it works the only weird thing is I had to bridge it with JBridge to get it to be recognised as a VST3 64 bit with Cubase 9.5. Still Downloading the sounds, so not all there yet but still got to use it, cool interface indeed and the FX routing is indeed much better, very flexible, excited to try it further.. And I’ll have to save up and buy a proper copy to thanks Refx for this badass VST
How to solve email authentication problem. Make sure to put all related files of step 3 in the ‘Public’ folder, not your own made user account folder, so: Users\Public\Documents\reFX\nexus
Did anyone get the presets to show up? it works but the presets don’t show up even after changing the file path on the settings
EDIT thanks to the comment of Danny Blackbones you just have to put another \ on each \ for the path! example “C:\\nexus3\\nexuscontent”
Some antivirus programs remove the Nexus3.39.dll file. Disable antivirus
(or add this file to the exceptions)
Step one. Copy everything in the VST folder to your VST directory.
Step two: Copy the reFX folder into C:\Users\Public\Documents.
N.B: It may be like that…. C:\Users\Public\Public Documents
Step three:
1- At any hard disk make a NEW folder and NAME it ” reFX Nexus 3 “….. E.g: G:\reFX Nexus 3
2- Open Folder ” G:\reFX Nexus 3 “, and in it, make a NEW folder and NAME it ” Nexus Content ”
3- Place the ( preset folder ) into the folder you created E.g: G:\reFX Nexus 3\Nexus Content.
Step Four: Go to the settings.json file open it in notepad and edit the preset file directory to be the one you set up in step 3.
…….. it should look something like this as the Example…….
{
“deep_verified”: true,
“last-license-warning”: 0,
“last-update-check”: “2020-09-15T21:46:08.870+08:00”,
“library_folder”: “G:\\reFX Nexus 3\\Nexus Content”,
“ui”: {
“default-font-size”: 20,
“default-scale”: 0.5,
“useHWAcceleration”: true
}
}

It is important that you use the double backslashes instead of one

i ve done this procedure but on my cubase 10 still not find all presets. How can I fix that?
The main pack has two parts, the program files and the library files, put the presets folder in the library files to match them. If you have the correct location line in the .jos file that´s fix the problem.
The presets folder is in the .iso file by the way.
Windows defender likes to keep removing a file in here even when I restore and allow it.
i got everything working but when i change to a preset it stops producing sounds, only from Nexus 3, any guess to what the problem is and how to fix? help would be much appriciated!
ALL ISSSSS OOOOOKKKK !!!!!!!! 3 DAYS TO WIN THE FUCKING PROBLEMS !
1st Problem:
Do not put the files in the Personal User folder but public user !! C: \ Users \ Public \ Documents \ reFX \ nexus
(DONT CHANGE THIS !!! )
2nd problem) Check in the setting.json file that you have used the double \ to communicate with the root of the library.
ex for me: E: \\ Studio \\ Nexus 3 \\ Nexus Content and not E: \ Studio \ Nexus 3 \ Nexus Content
3rd problem: If it works but you don’t see any preset, it means that the files have not been added in Nexus Content !!!!
Remember to copy the files available in the “Nexus Content” iso in the folder (with the same name ) that you put on your hard drive with the same name (logical)
BIM BAM BOOM !!!! it works .
Worked for me… feels great man
It works. So far. But every expansion that I’ve downloaded (.nxs) doesn’t show up. It only plays the presets (.fxs). I’ve copied everything to the right folders. But still I can’t find the names of the .nxs packs in the plugin. I even tried deleting the “\Samples” folder from “…\Nexus content\Samples”. Doesn’t change anything. I can still play those presets. So what’s the point of those .nxs files? How do I make them work? If they don’t work then I’d rather delete them cause it’s too damn large.
Somebody please explain this…
Qualcuno sà dirmi perchè quando clicco due volte per scegliere il suono non si sente più?
Can someone tell me how they got it fixed. I installed everything correctly and it opens but it doesn”t play any sounds when I doubleclick a sound. Only the sound previews play once when I click them once but when I choose a sound nothing comes out.
its the sounds packs that is the problem, ive had the same issue with nexus 2 but i have no idea how to fix it
Wherever you have the Settings.json file change it to your desired directory… worked for me when i couldn’t find presets
i think i have the problem, the packs arent pre-activated, i had same issue with nexus 2 where the packs wasnt pre-activated, so it didnt let me chose them / emmit sound
its fvcking heavy
how the fuck do you make the sound work bruh i know i did not just spend 2 days downloading this shit just for it to work but none of the presets make sound
Yessssir working as of 07/07/21, thank you very much. Just follow the installation instructions exactly above and you’re good.
Does ReFX Nexus 3 run on Windows 7?
SOME of the presets are on the ISO but there’s also a preset folder called Nexus Content that you need to drag over to your content folder, its 150gb so that’s why half of the presets don’t work without it
It’s asking me to Activate. Can someone please help ??
Me too, i stay on u´r side buddy. Same problem, no replys…
I finally figured it out — follow all the instructions above
BUT — go back to the original Nexus folder in your Downloads file (NOT THE .ISO file), open that folder, and copy the Samples folder into your Nexus Content folder.
That is where all the sounds are. 160 something gigs
Hey all. This is a VERY important key step if you are getting a library connection error when loading the new plugin in your DAW. If you have copied the script above into settings.json, be SURE to first copy that script into notepad and replace all ” with standard “s. Hard to explain because I’m not a jscript coder (yet), but the “s above are the wrong “font” and that was making the plugin not able to read the script. Hope that makes sense/helps.
