Windows 10 compatibility

I'm happy to report that our beloved G2 is compatible with the newest Micro$oft OS using the USB driver 3.02 from Clavia. This driver can be downloaded from any of the newer Clavia synths page. Smile

I am running the G2 Ed on a Win 10 on a Fujitsu Q550 tablet so I can use the touch controls. I did this after seeing some one on Youtube use it on a Surface Pro.
my main question is - how did he managed to get sounds from a patch WITHOUT connecting it to a NORD Hardware unit.

Is it possible to get sounds from a patch in the Editor without NORD hardware?

I wonder how he did it.

Maybe with the G2 demo?

G1 is win10 compatible? Question

Yes, G2 works perfectly with 3.02 driver in Windows 10. I can continue to put off stepping into modular hardware.

I had mine running fine on Win8.1 64-bit, but am getting a VC++ Runtime Library error when I try to run the editor under Win10 now.

I've scoured the web and seen no hints as to what this error is caused by. It was happening as well (same error) with the G1 editor, but then that mysteriously started working....

Any suggestions? Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

UPDATE: for some utterly bizarre and illogical reason, the NM G2 Editor version 1.62 only runs when Compatibility Mode is set to Win95 on the executable (or shortcut), on my Windows 10 64-bit system, at least.

I'm going to resurrect this thread because today I used my beloved G2 after a long time and the editor was no longer compatible with Windows 10, showing a runtime error. Probably some ugly update...

However, it works if the program is configured for compatibility with Windows 95. The driver is still working properly.

Ah, nice!

Hi Jan! I spoke too soon Sad

The program seems to work, but as soon as you open the load or save dialog, or the patch browser, it crashes.

Same with the demo. It works in Windows 95 mode but it crashes when showing the load dialog.

It worked not long ago, so it must have been a recent update.

I guess it's time to use a virtual machine to run the editor and the demo...
Or maybe putting the old needed DLLs in the program directory could make it run again. I may try that.

O dear .. it is getting messy eh Shocked

Edit: I was thinking btw that it might have to do with the audio interface .. but i don't know why I got that idea Laughing

Edit 2 : oh yes I remember .. my RME broke down on the win10 computer, and it now uses a cheap behringer thing .. anyway that was a change that was made. But the demo does not get past it's startup screen here.

In the end I read a solution that works in this other forum:

https://www.norduserforum.com/topic-25515.html

Basically, it's creating a different local account to running the program using these credentials.
I had to move my patches to a public folder so both my normal account and the new one can access them, but other than that, it seems to work well.

The demo works as well for me.
