Although there was already an extensive permissions system for mods, the addition to the system for console modding allowed users to select what their intent for the mod was in terms of use, and where they would allow it to be available. It also allowed 'console players to search the Nexus system for mods they can find via their console's Bethesda. The Nexus Mods network supported games as of December , and features a single forum and a wiki for site and mod-related topics.
As of December , games with the most mods hosted were:. Recently, the Nexus Mods site expanded to serve as a host for mod files for any modifiable PC game. According to the Nexus site, NMM 'integrates with the Nexus sites to provide you with a fast, efficient, and much less hassled modding experience. Nexus Mod Manager has since been replaced by Vortex, the official Nexus Mods mod manager with improved mod handling and a more modern interface.
Skip to content Home. Presets can contain just a single layer or a maximum of 16 layers which can be used in different ways to form layered sounds, drum kits, or split keyranged instruments. It is worth experimenting with preset layers and discovering some new sounds that you can create with just a few clicks.
At the top of the display are the layer switches. Click on these to toggle a layer on and off. When a layer is disabled, its switch is dimmed and the layer is removed from the editor window. Next, you see the oscillators for the layer labeled as "osc". Clicking on an osc label toggles that oscillator on and off.
The controls red available for adjustment for each oscillator are: Volume, Pan, Transpose and Detune. Some presets may have multiple layers to an oscillator where you see two independent volume controls for a single oscillator. The signal flows out the oscillators and through any effects loaded for the layer. You cannot adjust the layer effects as they are designed with a complete sound in mind, but you can disable the effects by clicking the label for the effect to toggle it on and off.
The system menu holds options that affect the display and global functionality of NEXUS3 on your system. Instance settings affect that specific instance of the plugin.
These settings are not saved as global settings for the plugin, but only for the instance loaded. Default value is Hz. When moved further into negative values, NEXUS3 interprets an increasingly wider range of high- and medium-velocity notes as if they were low velocity. When moved further into positive values, NEXUS3 increases the range of low- and medium-velocity notes that it interprets as high velocity.
First: This causes velocity of the first note played to be stored and used for all subsequent notes, regardless of how hard or soft the notes are played.
Last: The velocity of the arp is based off the last note played. It changes if the playing style varies. In addition to the messages specified in the MIDI implementation chart, the following MIDI continuous controller messages are recognized, affecting the parameters listed below.

NEXUS3 Reference Manual Introduction NEXUS3 is a flexible, high-quality hybrid virtual analog synthesizer utilizing both real-time alias-free waveform generation and high-quality sample playback of recorded synths and real acoustic instruments.
Under The Hood NEXUS3 is built on a powerful synthesis engine featuring all the oscillators, filters, modulators, and effects you would expect in a modern virtual instrument.
Arpeggiator Overhaul NEXUS3 incorporates an updated arpeggiator section that now offers access to adjust each layer arpeggiator separately. New Sequencer A new sequencer mode has been added to the arpeggiator, allowing multiple notes per step. More Modulation and New Macros Modulation has been doubled from ten to 20 slots to allow more sources to connect to more destinations. Improved Speed and Efficiency Loading and browsing sounds has been improved, allowing much faster preset switching, especially with larger sound sources.
Once you have logged in, you see the products you have available for installation: Configuring reFX Cloud Settings and Installation Paths Before starting the installation of your content, you must first set the path where you want the large library of NEXUS3 content to be installed. Open the settings menu using the "gear" icon at the top of the window: The screen flips to the settings tab: Network: You can set the appropriate speed profile for your internet connection here.
Click the "gear" icon again to close the settings menu. Managing Downloads and Updates Along the top of the reFX Cloud app are tabs to view your installed products, available updates, and queued downloads. Verifying Files It is possible to verify the integrity of files by right-clicking any installed item in the reFX Cloud app and choosing "Verify". Batch Actions If you wish to apply an action to all items at once, locate the 3-dot menu at the top of the section you are viewing and left-click it.
Search Bar If you would like to check if a specific expansion is installed, use the search bar at the top of the reFX Cloud app. The main interface is divided up into five main sections: Top Section: The top of the interface shows the currently loaded preset along with the extended preset information, volume, and level meter. File counts displayed for all folders and categories. Easy access to search and filter features. New "Favorites" system replaces rating system.
New "Bookmark" feature allows building of custom preset collections. Filter search results based on character of sound "tags". Librarian Layout There are three main sections to the librarian preset browser: FOLDERS: Shows you the preset folders expansions that you have installed along with the total preset count of each folder. You can select a range of folders by selecting the first entry and holding SHIFT then selecting the last.
Search For a Preset In addition to selecting folders and categories, you can use the search box to search for presets based on the preset name. TIP: In a list of search results, you can right-click a preset and choose "Select folder" to select the expansion folder the preset belongs to.
Filtering Results A new filter feature allows you to filter sounds based on their character. Sounds are characterised with the following descriptive tags if they are applicable to the sound: Dirty: A type of sound that contains distortion or a gritty unclean sound.
Spikey: Applies to sounds that have a fast attack and an initial loud spike. Moving: Sounds that have movement, such as panning or LFO based modulation. Simple: Sounds that have a simple waveform, limited layers and effects. The 3-dot menu at the far right offers the following four options: reset filters: You can clear all search filters with one mouse-click. Saving Presets You can save any preset as your own version to be recalled at any time.
Bookmark Presets A new "Bookmark" feature has been added in NEXUS3 which allows you to create your own custom folders and add presets of your choosing. Creating a Bookmark Folder Bookmark folders are simply a custom created folder where you can then add your selected presets.
Adding Presets to Bookmark Folders Simply drag a preset to the bookmark folder you wish to add it to. Main Controls The main controls on the left and right of NEXUS3 offer "global modifier" controls that can be used to "override" a presets main sound characteristics. To make fine adjustments, hold down the "Shift" key while dragging the control or use the right mouse button to initiate the adjustment. Numeric values can be changed by dragging them vertically as if they were faders, or by double-clicking on them, then typing in a value and pressing "Return".
You can disable effects and filters globally while browsing presets by clicking the 3-dot button to the right of an effects label. Filter Modifier The filter modifier adjusts the filter and envelope for each layer globally. Amp Modifier The amp modifier adjusts panning and basic amp volume envelope settings that affect the volume characteristics of the sound. Main Controls: Effects NEXUS3 contains two commonly used and high quality Reverb and Delay effects modules that are simple to use and offer high quality processing to the sound.
Delay The Front Panel Delay has multiple modes for different types of delay, and offers modulation and filtering for adding movement and vibe to the repeats.
Note: If the Front Panel Delay is activated, all layer delays are deactivated. Both channels are processed independently. This type is most useful for presets which produce audibly different output in the left and right channels.
This type produces the widest and most obvious stereo effect. Note: If the Front Panel Reverb is activated, all layer reverbs are deactivated. Main Controls: Main Filter The Main Filter processes the signal before it enters into the EQ, reverb, and delay effects, so high frequency tails can still be processed when a filter sweep is performed. LP low-pass : Frequencies above the cutoff frequency are attenuated.
HP high-pass : Frequencies below the cutoff frequency are attenuated. BP band-pass : Frequencies above and below the cutoff frequency are attenuated. NTCH notch : The cutoff frequency and the frequencies immediately around it are attenuated.
Mapping Macros To map a macro control to a function open the Modulation tab. Select the desired destination parameter. Note: The modulation amount allows the macro control to increase or decrease the destination parameter by a set amount from the destination's current setting. An orange activity indicator shows the macro effect on a control when used.
Arpeggiator arp NEXUS3 incorporates an improved and sophisticated arpeggiator section that provides melodic patterns from sustained notes. New In Nexus3 Main Arp increased from 32 steps to step length. New tools pencil, paint, select, eraser for editing notes Access to each layer's arp with full adjustment of each layer.
New "Sequence" mode allows multiple note sequences. Layer vs Main Arpeggiator Layer Arpeggiators Each layer in a preset sound can have a separate arpeggiator enabled and NEXUS3 now offers user access to each layer's arpeggiator for manipulation.
Main Arpeggiator The main arpeggiator applies to the whole preset all layers. All arpeggiator features are the same for all layers. In the menu, select one of the following options: up: Notes are played from lowest to highest.
Strictly speaking, this mode does not generate arpeggios - it is useful for playing chords in a repeating rhythm. This allows chords and drum patterns to be easily created. Select one of the following modes to enable filtering: first: Only the first note played is passed to the arpeggiator.
Use the transpose function of the pattern editor to alter this fixed pitch. Arpeggiator Presets Below those options is a preset selector section where you can select from dozens of factory arpeggiator patterns.
Arpeggiator Pattern Editor The arpeggiator pattern editor enables the customization of arpeggiator patterns. The editor section is divided into columns for each step, and rows for each octave.
Editing Tools Pencil: The pencil tool can be selected from the toolbar or by pressing "1" on the keyboard. Editing Notes Add Note: While using the pncil or paint tool, left-click on the cell where you wish to place a note.
Loop Region It is possible to create an arp pattern that has a lead-in section only plays a single time and a loop section loops while the note is sustained. New Mode: Sequencer Setting the arp mode to "seq" opens the brand-new sequencer editor, allowing you to create complex patterns, such as chords. Trance Gate NEXUS3 features a powerful sequenced audio gate which is useful for turning sustained notes into rhythmic patterns.
Main Trance Gate The main trance gate applies to the whole preset all layers. All trance gate features are the same for all layers. Trance Gate Presets Below those options is a preset selector section where you can select from dozens of factory trance gate patterns. Trance Gate Pattern Editor The trance gate pattern editor is divided into steps based on the length setting. Editing Steps Clicking on a step with the left mouse button toggles the step. Loop Region It is possible to create a Trance Gate pattern that has a lead-in section only plays a single time and a loop section loops while the note is sustained.
Vibrato NEXUS3 has a few simple settings that allow you to enable vibrato pitch modulation for any sound. Pitch Bend Pitch bend range allows the bend range limits to be set for the pitch bend control of a keyboard.
Portamento When portamento sometimes called "glide" is enabled, the pitch of each note slides into the next. Misc voices: You can set how many synth voices are played back through the sound engine max. You can turn individual key zones on and off using the toggle on the left-hand side. Mod Matrix The modulation matrix includes 20 modulation slots to connect source inputs to destination parameters. Visual effects allow graphical editing and feedback of effects.
Visual effects for front panel filter, delay, and reverb effects in the chain. Single screen editor shows more detailed information and is easier to navigate.
Signal meters show audio signal level present at each effects stage. Effects are applied in series, in the order displayed on screen: The audio signal flows from left to right through each effect.
Effect Editor Each effect has a graphical editor that appears in the edit window when the effect is enabled in the chain. As parameters are adjusted, the graphical overview is affected accordingly. Effects such as EQ and Impulse allow adjustment of the effects parameters using handles on the graphical overview: Insert Effects There are four custom insert FX slots that are identical in operation but provided at different ends of the audio chain.
Insert Effects Types There are 14 different effects that can be selected for the insert effects devices.
Chorus Adds thickness and width to the sound by adding very short time-modulated delays. Flanger Similar to Chorus, but a portion of the delayed signal is mixed back into the input, creating complex resonance. Phaser Creates sweeping phase cancellation effects with LFO-modulated notch filters. Ensemble A more complex chorus effect, with a greater number of delays and more modulation. Degrader A bit-depth and sample-rate reduction effect with an additional distortion option.
Step3: After installation - run the program using default installation you will have a new program icon on your desktop you can use to start it. You will be asked at startup what game it is supposed to manage for you. Choose Skyrim obviously.
Step4: Actually using the program to install mods: - When first starting the program you will be prompted to log in with your Nexus account. If needed, simply browse to the main directory you installed Skyrim to.
Usually this will be automatically detected however, and if this is the case this step is skipped. Let's get some mods. Now you should go find a mod from skyrimnexus. The mod manager will handle the rest.
You will notice there is also of course a button for disabling a mod. Now you have an easy overview of all the mods you have installed and you can enable and disable them with the click of a button. Be sure to exit Skyrim before adding or removing mods obviously. You can now just run the game. If you are using an alternative executable such as the 4GB Skyrim mod you should run that.
As said you should usually only try this with texture mods or similar since these mods will not mess up your game if you do something wrong when trying to mix together mods it just won't look as you wanted it to. Mixing functional mods in this manner however could have disastrous consequences and should be strictly avoided. This may be because the mod has optional files you can install to tweak how it works for example such as 'Enhanced Blood Textures' which has an optional addon 'blurry screen blood' for example - or 'Enhanced Night Skyrim' where you actually choose one file package for altering the stars, and one for altering the galaxy and you are free to mix.
In these cases when you install more than one such 'part' from a mod - the mod manager will say that you already have the mod installed and will ask you if you want to update it. If you choose 'yes' then it just merges the second part you installed into the first part so it only shows up as a single mod in the list. After installing, some of them will add an extra module file under the 'plugins' tab.
You will need to tick that box for the corresponding mod you want to run. Note that disabling a mod should remove the plugin - so generally you should just make sure to have all the plugins ticked on that page.
If you want to disable a mod then it is better to do that via the disable function on the 'mods' tab. This keeps it nice and tidy. A few however simply don't do anything when you activate them. I am not exactly sure of why - but likely this is just some missing instructions in the file package and can probably be updated to work if the mod author is notified. If you are in doubt if something is installed correctly you can simply check the file package and see where the files in it are supposed to go by looking at the file structure in the compressed file - then activate the mod - and check in your skyrim folder afterwards if the files were put in where you expected them to go.
Mods that for whatever reason don't install correctly don't seem to do anything at all and are thus not very likely to cause any problems at least. You will just have to manually install these for the time being and perhaps notify the mod author to rectify the problem in future updates so it can support automatic installation. This system seems to essentially work - but be aware that you should not trust this system blindly yet. The problem seems to be that a lot of the mod authors seem to not be familiar with the system yet and either forget to update the online version status, or mark new versions wrongly.
Therefore it can happen that you get weird situations like mod manager saying that you have version 1. Just be aware of the problem in the case of some mode - notify the mod author to fix it - and use a little bit of common sense and you should not end up too confused.
Likely this problem will diminish with time as serious mod authors become more familiar with how the system works.
