Finally!!! Nord Modular G2 OS & G2 Editor 1.62 (UPDATED)

This is probably a silly question, but if you select Synth -> Synth Settings (or type Control-G), is it possible that the "Memory Protect" box is checked?

is it just me ? but i cant understand what bug you're all referring to, also i have some problems..... my editor reports "major problem" message and loses contact very frequently, a much more than a few times each working day.

i have a intel macbook pro 2.93 ghz, leopard OS 10.5.8,

its worse than the app running on my older powerbook G4 1.25ghz.

anyone experience this bug , mbe we'll get even better update soon?

For some unexplainable reason I decided to install 1.62 on my existing installation on XP SP3.

The setup removed the existing clavia usb driver... When I connect the G2X the machine starts looking for the driver and it seems to find it and then it hangs the machine (before finishing installing the driver). I tried even with the latest driver from Clavia site and I get the same behavior.

Does anyone know where I can find the old 1.4 files? I cannot find them on Clavia site anymore. (the g2x is clearly still with version 1.4)

Thank you

The 1.40 versions can be found in this thread.

However, you might try the following first:

Start -> Run. Type "cmd" This will open a command window

Type

set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
start devmgmt.msc

This will start an instance of Windows Device Manager with the ability to show drivers that are not associated with a device that is currently connected. You must now activate that ability by selecting "View" and then "Show Hidden Devices"

You should now be able to open the "Sound, video and game controllers" area and locate the old Clavia driver. Right-click it and select "Uninstall."

Now restart the machine; with a little luck you should be able to install the new driver.

Thanks ark! Just tried it on Vista x64 Business and it works a treat. That's going to be really handy.

it still hangs...

I tried reverting to version 1.0 and it still hangs, so it must be something else I guess. Time to scratch the system.

Cheers.

This is not quite the same problem which I m experiencing. I am working awy happily and suddenly I get a 'Major Error' message box and the software link has gone. I have to then close the editor and unplug USB. reopen and replug.
This is the same on 1.62 and 1.4

its a bit different, i know and i didnt say its the same -
i didnt got this error message
solving the problem for the moment (unpluggin usb ...)
that was the same

maybe my probs disappeared from alone because of one
of those regulary osx software updates

i stay on 10.5.8 on a macbook 2GHz and now all
is good except a problem if i use logic or ableton live with
software instruments paralell with the G2editor
the speed went down and all ended in an editor crash

i hope an update or a clean system can help u

Hi, I am a new G2 owner. What a wicked synth. My question is. My g2 is running version 1.40 os. I have loaded 1.6.2 editor on my mac ( PPC running tiger 10.4.11). Should I update the OS of the machine to 1.6.2?

No, earlier in this thread there is said that the OS 1.6 on the synth doesn't work as well as the 1.40. So i am still running 1.40 on the G2X and 1.62 editor on the mac. And that works very well till now (Almost a year).

Yes,I'm running V 1.62 on a Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.5.
I haven't worked with it very much since getting the computer,but it seems to be functioning fine.

Wan · Posted: Fri Dec 03, 2010 2:48 am Post subject:

Ditto.

I am running the editor v 1.62 on osx 10.6.5 with OS 1.40 in the G2X itself. It runs ok, only when i close the editor i can't start it a second time, i have to restart the computer for that. So it runs 1 time per session. I can handle that:)

Wan,I think if you update to 1.62 on the G2 you won't have that problem anymore.

Merry Christmas Everyone Exclamation

The screen backlight has failed on my 32 bit WinXP laptop that I had used to run the 1.40 version Editor software. Crying or Very sad

My brother very generously gave me a spare laptop with 64 bit Windows 7 Professional loaded. I installed the 1.62 version Editor and (“manually”) the 64 bit 2.16 version USB driver. It appears that everything is working OK, even with my G2X with the 1.40 OS still loaded. Very Happy

One little minor thing that I noticed though; the 1.62 Editor displays the module names in italics (e.g. LFO 1 vs. LFO 1 displayed by earlier versions).

Is this a normal “feature” of the 1.62 Editor Question

Merry Christmas Varice!!

I'm not seeing italics here in the module names, not in the original editor or my custom one!

Thanks for the quick reply Albert Exclamation

So, it looks like Windows 7 is maybe messing with the module name font… Oh well, no big deal. In fact, it doesn’t look all that bad Exclamation

, just different. Laughing

And BTW, a Happy New Year wish to you and everyone Exclamation
