Am I the only one in which this 1.6.2 didn't fix the Editor disconnect issue? Curious, because I also experience this same bug in 1.4 as well--consistently.

To clarify, in 1.6.2, same for me as 1.6.0, same for me as 1.4, I can connect my G2 via USB, open the editor and the hard/soft connection is made and I can build/tweak, etc. If I quit the editor & then restart the editor--I can't get the software to recognize the hardware until I either power-cycle the G2 or disconnect the USB cable and re-connect it. This has been the case ever since I first got the G2 (only about 14 months ago), and so seeing it in 1.6.0 didn't surprise me, and I was more surprised to hear people noticing it for the first time. But the problem is definitely NOT fixed on my system in 1.6.2, so I am now fully curious what is up? anyone else with the same system as me experiencing same/different?

Macbook Pro (2.33 Intel Core 2 Duo) OS 10.5.6 / G2 Keyboard (expanded) updated to 1.6.2

Only a sample of two, but it sure looks like there is still a bit of a problem with the OSX midi driver. Sad

1.62 hangs more frequently for me than 1.4 did. dual G5 mac, running OS 10.4.11.

Today it hung while storing a performance in G2 memory, which I've never seen before. Had to power cycle. The performance that it was storing got lost.

Man,

I'm just gonna roll with 1.40 for now. I picked up an old Mac Mini with a Power PC chip. At least I'll have reliabe back up plans if and when my PC and laptop bite the dust...

i'm inclined to revert to 1.40 if I keep experiencing trouble. is it just as easy as running the 1.40 firmware update app?

No it isn't, because if you're running the 1.60 driver, the 1.40 update program will not recognize the G2.

At least on Windows, what you have to do is go into Device Manager, right-click the driver (which you must do with the G2 connected, because otherwise the driver won't be visible in Device Manager), say you want to update it, then supply the 1.40 driver as the "update".

Once you've done that, the 1.40 driver will recognize the G2 even though it won't be able to talk to it. At that point, you can run the 1.40 update program and it will replace the system software in the G2 even though it is replacing it by an earlier version.

So it's not a particularly difficult process; but you have to do things in an order that may seem counterintuitive.

I don't think the mac version has any custom drivers. There's just the firmware update app and the editor app.

G2 OS 1.62 disconnection problem here also(MAC & PC),... went back to Synth OS 1.40 with G2 Editor 1.62(intel), seems ok for the moment Rolling Eyes

Aside from the disconnection problem, It seems that some patches get corrupted after the disconnetion. Sad

Anybody got the same problem?

Much to my suprise I got some a couple of the dreaded lost connection errors at the weekend (having not had any since I first got my Nord) but I had recently attached my Nord to my very recently acquired USB hub rather than direct to my PC, so I switched it back to getting a direct line from the PC and have had no more errors since.

Not sure how relevant this is, just thought I would mention it. I have heard that some devices just don't get on with all external hubs and mine is a cheapy and others are quite happy. E.g. To date my iPhone has not had a problem with the external hub.

Hmmm. So, out of interest, which OS are you guys with problems using?

1.62 has been fine for me so far on Vista, hub or no hub.
