    Is this on legit nexus 3 or the cracked nexus 3?

    Allow nexus to connect to internet for cloud conversion

    Does not work anymore, looks like conversion is only available for legit software or maybe newer versions of cracked software if available. Mac Mojave here.My legit version is converting correctly.

    Need to check, last time i tried it worked. I have a solution for you tho. If nexus stores preset name in the project file, you can use binary editor to find the preset name and locate it yourself once you load it. You are outta luck if the preset itself is modified

    The presets are same name and same sound, new presets are 32kb old are 8kb... I tried replacing them, but it just shows saw init that doesn't make a sound at all, and on the top right corner the nexus shit menu icon is flashing, how can I do the binary editor thing? Any YouTube tut link?

    No lol! But I got some info. First of all Nexus uses VST2 presets, so preset name is stored inside it. If you are using FL Studio I can make a quick script for you to extract all the names of the Nexus presets used. If you use Ableton, the Ableton project is plain XML so you can find preset name by just opening the file in Notepad and searching a bit. Idk abt other DAWs

    Look at this:
    upload_2021-12-24_19-26-32.png

    This is LD Saw Init.fxp from Factory presets of Nexus 3. You can see from the highlighted part that its not actually a N3 preset but a N2.5 preset. So N3 imposes no such restrictions as the Nexus version. Also:
    • N2.2 preset = 8kb
    • N2.3 preset = 11kb
    • N2.4 preset = 18kb
    • N2.5 preset = 32kb
    • N2.7 preset = 39kb
    • N3 presets are variable sized, it uses compression and encryption as well.
    Again, if you are sure the preset is used as is. You can just find the name and swap it with a N3. BUT, if it is changed you have no choice but to open the project in Nexus 2 and copying the settings like ADSR, effects etc. manually.

    Sure bro, but the thing is I want to run old projects on new nexus, which is more 64bit optimized. the 32 bridged plugin is buggy and at times i can't even click to change the presets.

    Idk if Nexus stores the fxp as is in project data. If it doesn't you're outta luck, need to check myself. Nexus doesn't have banks afaik so I think you checked something else by mistake maybe Sylenth1 preset or smth. Which daw do you use?

    Yes bro, FL Studio 20 - It's not another plugin it's nexus. It doesn't have the presets inside the FLP file, if it has, they are encrypted, nonetheless they are nexus 2 files so they are incompatible. The only possible solution for now is to have both nexus3 and nexus2 - since they both work fine, but are not compatible with each other after the last update.

    You need a legit license to load presets saved with Nexus 2.2 or older.
    The only known fix is buying it.

    @SpeTheof you are right nexus is too smart, it doesn't store the contents of fxp in the project data. All I get is "Nexus Bank2" from a project file. Also presets are encrypted with Synchrosoft MCFACT as nexus logs tell. AiR broke it open in 2009 with N2.2

    seems patched indeed, only the Nexus 3 Presets work.

    How do I remove the old presets that doesn't work anymore? (How i recognize the old presets)
    That will also save allot of space on my disk lol
