Static Motion

I wonder if there's any new OS scheduled for the G2 ?

Thanxx for the reply....I send a mail to Clavia about this...and here's the answer i got...

"Hi

I really can't discuss or make any comments on future products or updates. The G2 will probably not be getting any updates, it is what we call a completed product.

Best regards,
Tomas Johansson
Product Manager - Clavia DMI AB"

Hmm, seems to be a change in intentions ... was to be expected I guess.

Indeed. Not what we were expecting to hear at all. Sad

Well, if it's a completed product, and they're not planning on making any more, how 'bout opening up the source code to the community? The thought of an open-source synthesizer based on a platform as amazing as the G2 has me drooling already.

Cool things start happening when a bunch of geniuses (many of which seem to hang out around here) start experimenting.

This has all been discussed before, and everyone is in the unfortunate agreement that Clavia is way to small a company to continue making products, and support an open source development. I know, "What's to support". There's alot, actually.

Anyway, this is disappointing. I thought Clavia made announcements earlier this year at MESSE that they would deliver an update "later this year". Isn't it late in the year now? Maybe I'm mistaken. It'll take a bit of digging in the forum to find this reference again...

Yes earlier this year the tone of the statements was a bit different, more like a maybe yes, where it now sounds more like a maybe no. Apparently the work on the wave was demanding or something.

Bought I am yourself from Clavia two products Nord Modular and G2engine. Which is for Czech republic very big money. My final result is, that never more yourself purchased nothing from Clavia.

Source code - it is big illusion, this is total end.

Heavy expenses disillusion

Sorry my bad English ( use translator )

this is very bad news

so you buy a synth completely dependant with a PC and when this PC upgrades, your synth becomes obsolete, shame on you Clavia.
On a nord modular, I can accept this because it's a discontinued product but with the G2,.... Confused

and you wanna sell the nord wave (with PC editor Shocked

)
I'm not a fool, I 've just ordered a blofeld and for the romper side, my Yam make wonders

Hmmm, not good indeed. As Blue Hell indicated rightly, about a year ago it was communicated that an update "was planned but no date has been set for its release" (I received an email with this info myself after enquiring about an update). This is not good for their public image, regardless of the fact that the G2 is very good synth already.

Not making new modules or fixing relatively minor bugs (MHO) is strategy that I could understand from Clavia (although I certainly hope differently). However, not providing an editor - which is crucial for your product - that works on the current OSes at the time the product is still being sold and 'supported' is not a good way to do business in my book. I'm not personally waiting for Vista drivers at the moment, but I still sent an email to Clavia to let my opinion be heard as a customer. It probably does not help the matter one bit, but I just had to do it.

Although there's a bunch of stupid design decisions inherent in my Yamaha S90 (sampled vibrato and a crappy UI for example), I like some of the sounds so I decided to keep it. When Yamaha released an updated S90 as a new synth instead of fixing the existing instrument, I promised myself I would not buy another Yamaha instrument and I intend to keep that promise.

I guess the same now goes for Clavia. I won't sell my G2X because it makes some great sounds despite the bugs, but releasing a new instrument without ensuring the previous is solid is certainly wrong. What I find most amazing is that Clavia would go to the trouble of designing, building and marketing such an incredible, expandable, combination software/hardware instrument, and then abandon it, particularly for the very average (although perhaps good-sounding) stuff they have ended up concentrating on.
