Wouter, your signature is very interesting. Your multi-controller software looks quite nice. I have spent a bit of time looking at your other projects. They are splendid.

Hi guys
it's my first post here @ electro-music.com, I hope someone's still reading this topic.

I have a G2 Engine and recently bought and installed DSP expansion from Encore Electronics.

Installation was pretty simple, and the Engine is loading and running.
But how do I check that the expansion board has been detected and is in use?

welcome tagirov

Hm I don't recall that there is any real indication in the editor, but you can always try to fill up all slots + their fx areas (eight areas total) with e.g. three reverbs in each. If none of the cpu meters go into the red at that point your expansion works. Patch an oscillator through each reverb bank and then into a 2-out module in each slot so you can listen and make really sure.

Congratulations on getting a G2 Engine along with the Expansion board Exclamation

There are several ways to test that the G2 expansion is active on an Engine. One way is to load a patch into one active Slot and then check how many Voices are available. For example, load the linked patch into a single active Slot, you should see a Voice count of 30 in the Editor:

Thanx Varice!
I've loaded your patch, it seems that all 30 voices available.
Thanks a lot!

Encore is shipping more of these right now. Time to jump in I think.

First, bulk purchase anyone? I saw this suggested way back when, and I wonder if anyone tried. If we were collectively to buy 10, for example.

Second, I wonder if anyone can tell me how 'easy' it is to install. I've done a RAM upgrade or two in the past, but that's the extent of my 'circuit bending' skills. Should I plan to have someone install the Expander for me?

Third, Canadian dollar exchange really sucks right now. Sad

It's dead easy on the Engine. Open cover, push in board, screw in board. Dunno if it is just as easy on the keyboard models.

Anybody still have contact with Tony, I ordered an expansion board 3 weeks ago and have heard absolutely nothing from him, I need to get on top of this pretty quickly or I will have trouble getting a refund from PayPal.

I have read some horror stories online about the time taken for Tony to get in contact with buyers so if anyone has any advice it would be welcome.



Update on my post, took a while but I now have my expansion card fitted and working perfectly.

Cheers

Encore seems to have them in stock again.
although not the G2 expansion, I purchased other re-stocked boards last month (that have not been available for years), and they were shipped fairly soon.
if un-responsive to emails, you might still want to try ordering from encore, as their stock levels seem updated.

Thanks, yeah I messaged them a bit back and it all seemed good, been trying to work out how much I need the board. Will probably order one though before the end of the year

Just an FYI to anyone who googled and came across this thread. I ordered a G2 expansion board a few days ago from Encore and got it super fast. Everything worked perfectly!

Let my first ever post in these forums be to inform you all that I bought one from Spain in August 2023 and I received it in about three weeks total (a few days to ship, about one week of travel, one week to pass customs, and a few days for the post service to carry it home). Can't be more happy Smile
