So this makes me ask the question, what do you use the demo software for ? I have a few ideas but just wondering ?

To Roland it is a vital tool developing his turorials/DvD's. It is included for those who don't own a NordModular G2. It's obvious the author has to check it on the G2 Demo platform too. I just can't help with the problem: Flash...? Wink

Thanks for the reply re my question Wout, I did not know Roland did tutorials etc so it was not obvious to me, sounds interesting. Though maybe there still is more uses for the demo software - can you run it along side the full editor on the same computer and have it being used with a midi keyboard? I would not know as I said I never got the demo software running ( had the same message as Roland ) but my full editor for g2 worked straight away.

Yes, Wout is right about thinking that. It is a synthesis coarse in depth where I make use of the G2 Demo. But it can be used for other modular synths too. And when I give a masterclass, I don't want to carry a G2 with me all the time.

Yes, it can be controlled by a Midi Keyboard. Can be usefull to run together with the hardware loaded with the same Patch, so it will function as a monophonic Delay due to its latency Very Happy

Yeah I can't get the demo to work on my work laptop at all. It's too bad cuz sometimes I get a thought and want to draw out a patch to save for later.

I'd really pay for a native G2 plugin for PC....

I use the demo a lot in my work to make sound effects for our games. My G2 is at home.

I got it working in Windows 7 XP Mode. Get it here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx

After it installs, XP Mode will start. It's basically Windows XP in Virtual PC. Once it starts up, install the G2 Demo within it, set up the audio, and try it out.

Close out XP Mode then go to your Windows 7 Start menu, you'll find your G2 Demo program group in Windows Virtual PC\Windows XP Mode Applications. Start it up from here and the application will appear as if it's running within Windows 7. Of course, the first time you start up the demo it'll need to bring XP Mode out of hibernation but at least you don't have to use the demo within a VPC window.

OK wait it was Roland that was having the problem in Vista.

It looks like the latest MS Virtual PC is for Windows 7 only so don't bother with that. It's also not worth trying the old VPC 2007 because I'm pretty sure it doesn't virtualize the audio.

For Vista users I'd try out VirtualBox:

http://www.virtualbox.org/

It's free and virtualizes hardware I'm pretty certain. The downsides are needing a copy of XP and also you'll need to run the G2 Demo directly in VirtualBox. Please correct me if you try it out and find that the audio doesn't work properly.

Even better than VirtualBox (which I personally use), is VmWare ThinApp.

It encapsulates a single application with all the files needed to run virtually, so there is no need to install all the guest operating system.

http://www.vmware.com/products/thinapp/overview.html

I have not tried it, though.

I encountered the same issue / error with a Windows 7 Dell Latitude laptop.

I had to open Control Panel / Sound / Playback and disable the 'Communications Headphones: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC' in order for the G2 Demo to work. It seems as if this might've been holding on to the audio device.

It also works without compatibility mode enabled.

Maybe this will help someone or lead them in the right direction...

G2Demo is working again. Because the new motherboard and the notification about memory, I was lost. Today I thought lets update my driverstuff. And that worked. Thanks all for your help.

Thanks. The Demo is so handy in teaching mod synthesis and fun in the train. Wish they would make it a vst too.

I got the “not enough memory to perform requested action” error after installing the G2 Demo on the same model laptop and OS. After searching this forum and finding this suggestion, I tried it and now the Demo is up and running. Cool

Thanks for the tip cebec Exclamation

Yes...
Once I selected the proper output I could then re-enable the other codecs and the demo continued working.

I just tried enabling the CODEC. The G2 Demo starts and still runs, but when I go to Setup, Audio/MIDI, the same error pops up and the settings cannot be changed. So the G2 Demo and the CODEC still aren’t 100% playing nice together. But at least I know now what to do to get the G2 Demo able to change settings if need be.
