My band actually used a ton of Nexus presets on our first album, Electrogram, and it had a really unique sound for indie rock music. It was all over EDM & pop productions and it even made its way into indie productions. There was a time there when Nexus was the biggest ROM synthesizer available.

These cover everything from EDM, dubstep, Hardwell, DNB, Tropical House, to trap rap. REFX Nexus Presets – Over 30,000 presets for Nexus.I would highly recommend checking out their sample packs here. My friends from Wavgrind recently reached out and I took a look at what they have available. Some of these presets can get pretty large in size. If not, an external hard drive is a must. Note: I recommend that you have a reasonably faster PC or laptop when mass downloading presets. Some are made from Nexus & some are made from Nexus 2.

I weeded out older options that no longer are available so that you don’t have to. Here is a list of all the current free Nexus presets and expansion packs that are still working & are compatible today.
