So, who is the person that said this?
Nova*Musik is my favorite online music store. I want to know who this person is so that I can ignore anything that this person states in the future.

Is it possible that the person at Nova*Musik who made the original statement said "G2 module" and cappy2112 misheard it? |

However, it is still prominently visible and verbally mentioned on the G2 subsection of the Clavia website. Gee, even the G2X is magically resurrected again in the "specifications" page.  So much for Clavias communication and product transparency. And check out that slogan: "Soft synth in a hard case"  That's what I mean. No wonder the G2 didn't sell well. I mean, the Wave and the Stage have USB editors too, and they don't call those "soft synths in hard cases". As I say -I've seldom seen worse marketing. And let's not talk about support. 
It's disheartening. IMO, the G2 is the best digital synth ever made.
G3? I don't think so. |

I didn't ask his name- partly because I was in shock.

Sure it's possible.
I asked him if he was referring to the G2X, which we all know is discontinued. He said no. As of "last week", the G2 would no longer be sold in the US to to the poor exchange rate with the US dollar.
I called their distributor, Armdillo/NordUSA and talked with Jason.
I told Jason what Nova said-his response was"the G2X and the Engine have been discontinued, but the G2 and expander are still in production."
The gooseneck mic is also discontinued (which I tried ordering from Nova as well), but Nova still has it on their site.
I have a feeling some personnel at Nova are not fully aware of the different models of the G2 and their differences.
Based on this, I'm more inclined to believe Jason than Nova.
Since I did get the last G2 expander from Nova- Jason said there are more on order already, and should be here within a few weeks.
Nova does have the best price that I could find, most other distributors still want $349.
The Edsels however, are still on backorder.

The gooseneck mic that Nova sells isn't a Nord mic -- it's the Korg mic that goes with the R3. It's a little short for use with a G2 (as opposed to the G2x, which has the mic jack on the top), but a Shure A412B solves that problem nicely. |

I don't understand the emotions people are feeling. If you have one already, who cares? If you don't have a g2, better hurry up and get one already!
Does this mean Clavia will drop support of the product? In that case, I would be concerned. Still pining for an upgrade to 1.4... |

Well, if a G2 has a problem before a show, it would be nice to know you can get another one somewhere. Plus, if you read the clavia web site and many postings, clavia will support the G2 for some time to come. They are working on new drivers and updating the editor as we speak.
The G2 engines and G2x are now legacy products.
What this says to me is that there is no new modular product in the pipeline from clavia. I hope i'm wrong....Or maybe they hope they can get rid of all the old stock before upgrading? |

I Just got this email from NovaMusik after I tried clarifying with them over the G2 Engine vs the G2 keyboard.

Hi Tony,
We are in very close ties to Jason and just relaying the message he told us within the last few weeks. The thing with Clavia/Nord is that things change dramatically and often week to week. So, as of three weeks ago they were "discontinued" as Jason told us. However, it looks like a few more are coming in."

Thanks for the ID.
But, we STILL don't know if Eric is talking about the G2 Keyboard or the Engine!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In any case, the US distributor has confirmed that the G2 Keyboard has NOT been discontinued for sale in the US. Unfortunately, it appears some people have read this topic and now believe that it is no longer going to be supplied to the States.
