depijp_HSK · Apr 6, 2021

Commercial Dance
Dance Drums
EDM 6
Feel Good House
Festival EDM
Happy Hardcore
Hardstyle 3
Hip-Hop 4
Lo-fi
Progressive House
Psytrance 2
Studio Production 1
Synthwave 2
Techno
Tropical House 3

Into your torrent links, right-click into the torrent you want to download and its not downloading
Remove>Remove torrent + data

Now, close the torrent manager and then re-open it
Now if you try downloading it should download normally

@ArticStorm There is a no install/symlink installer in torrent site for the latest nexus 3.4.4, it could make easier the step 3.Installation (vst + library) maybe it can help

Alternatively you can pick the yandex links or the jdownloader dlc from yandex in the sister site, it worked for me full speed.

there is a Pack of custom made N2 presets on ru, it has some good Virus presets in it. but it requires to unpack nxp files.
Somebody still has N2 installed and could do that?

i can send the file via PM. Its not to big, but i guess it includes Virus waveforms for N2?
And the Vintage Pack has landed on the sister page - yay. We are overcomplete now xD

Is there a legit user that can get us the actual NKS files? Not the audio previews. The .nksf files needed to control/browse in Komplete Kontrol and Maschine.

Just finished downloading 170GB this morning, installed on MBP 13" Mid 2012 (running catalina 10.15.7), i only follow the instruction on the page 1 & 28.
Works fine, there's no preset or any sound that missing/crash/not playable.
All is well.
Superb instruction.

Lets make one big thread about this!

EDIT: Version 05-04-2021 08:27pm GMT

1. Some General Information and Background

- The release is not safe in terms of having all ip adresses anf things patched, it does connect to some unknown amazon server, which is not the case for the legit Nexus3 Plugin.
- At the moment we have no proof that the release (windows) is safe, means it could be there is some malware code hidden, which we cant see with virustotal, since the binary is obfuscated by Themida/Code Virtualizer and thats why also this regkey is needed. (This could be done, because the original Reverser wanted to hide the changes in the plugin-dll and to prevent others from update it to newer versions.) We still dont know! The test which were done by different people here and other places show so far nothing suspicious.
- So far no team has claimed this release, the original "cracker" is unknown.
- It is known a bit about the origin of the release as @tcbbbb wrote:

It looks like it was cracked to be sold in a chinese online store.

2. Block Ip adresses

- It is important to be careful and block the following IPs, here is a list:
Code:
147.75.71.186
52.42.114.201
52.70.136.170
54.70.136.156
one of the ip is unknown and is not in the legit dll, when you run N3. We dont know what it does, but tests show so far, the plugin works without any internet connection for very long, people have tested and put the computer clock on 2099 and the plugin still works, all this offline.
It is better to block ip adresses then things in the host file, you can do this via Windows Firewall (google is your friend), or use something like NetLimiter and on Mac Little Snitch should work.

3. Installation

WINDOWS:
1- Unpack the archive and copy the folder named "VST" to your VST directory
2- Open the folder called "refx" then "nexus" and then open the file called "settings.json" with note-pad and in the "library_folder" string change the path to your current nexus contet (the fat +160gb folder) AND DOUBLE EACH SLASHES
EXAMPLE: "library_folder": "D:\\reFX Nexus Content Full 170 GB WORKiNG\\Nexus 3",
3- Copy the ENTIRE "refx" folder to: " C:\Users\Public\Documents "
4- Unpack the Presets.rar in the Preset Folder into the Nexus Content folder!

MAC:
1- Unpack the archive and copy the folder named "VST" to your VST directory
2- Open the folder called "refx" then "nexus" and then open the file called "settings.json" with note-pad and Change from:
"library_folder": “/Applications/NEXUS library/”,
To: "library_folder": “/WHEREVER/YOU PLACED/THE NEXUS CONTENT FOLDER/“
3- Place the "refx" folder into Shared
4(OPTIONAL for people who are using external drives):
Pointing the "Nexus Content Folder to a external hard drive (provided by @recycle (https://audiosex.pro/threads/refx-n...s-fixes-crashes-etc.58392/page-28#post-548190))
5- Unpack the Presets.rar in the Preset Folder into the Nexus Content folder!

4. What are the Current leaked/cracked version?

Cracked MAC version: AU 3.3.7 <-- 3.3.9 (they only released an older version, so far no 3.4.4 for MacOS )
Cracked WiN version: VST2 3.3.9 --> 3.4.4 (to load all Expansion Packs)

Nobody has tried yet to get Nexus 3 running under LiNUX, be the first to try it.

5. Information to Expansions

Until today (03-30-2021), all expansions showed up on the internet, except 3 ones (Happy Hardcore, LOFI & Hardstyle 3). Some of the newer Expansions do not work in the current versions due to the plugin version being outdated, Mac is 3.3.7 and windows 3.3.9, while the current plugin version is 3.4.4.
All Expansions are leaked, you can find them across the web. Lets hope reFX makes new Expansions still after this story.

6. Older Presets

Older Presets do work, if you allow Nexus 3 to connect to the reFX-AWS ip, it is used to decrypt the presets, because from Nexus 2.0-2.2.2 - reFX used MCFACT to protect expansions and presets. They dropped that for 2.2.3 and ongoing. But in order to still make newer stuff work they have a server which decrypts the presets and send them back to the user, who can then save them via resave preset and then save preset.

you need to unblock:

Code:

147.75.71.186

which connects to web.refx.com - after this answer: https://audiosex.pro/threads/refx-n...s-fixes-crashes-etc.58392/page-62#post-550698

Thats all for the moment!

Thanks to @Kuuhaku for collecting the information for me. And all the people here helping to gather information and test around and report it here.
Enjoy and stay safe.

hey I'm having an issue, I installed correctly on studio one, but it crashes when scan on ableton what can i do?

erwinor · Apr 8, 2021

Could someone tell me why it doesn't see the 170GB content?

Here is my path

"library_folder": "/Volumes/VST/Nexus Content/",
"ui": {

It helps if you read the instructions. Or this long assed thread where the issue is answered multiple times. You missed the bit about how you need to use double slashes. So: "//Volumes//VST//Nexus Content//"

Also, why are you putting your content in your VST folder? Your DAW will have to scan that 170 G every time you start it up.

madafakajones80 · Apr 8, 2021

The letter of drive like C: or an example D: need to put before the /Volumes/VST/Nexus Content/ ( example C:\\Volumes\\VST\\Nexus Content or also C:\/Volumes\/VST\/Nexus Content) and second use one of the option in the example \\ or \/

Its not the VST plugins folder, its another drive named VST dedicated to virtual instruments.I did the double slash thick and now I get that the libraries are not installed...
