Cappy,

Okay, there's really no way of telling if the editor here in Fusion actually works with the G2 of course (without having one connected), but Andy does point out that at the moment, that working the editor in UB is sluggish. Are the controls still sluggish with the G2 disconnected? (I know that you need the two to talk to each other).

The editor seems fine here but..........NO SOUND!! Laughing

Oh dear, perhaps I should just give up now?! Laughing

Give me to tommorow and I'll set up my NM in Fusion tomorrow, and see how that goes. At least we will have a basic idea whether the two will talk to each other.

I've been studying for a degree recently so I've deliberately had the NM unplugged- but it'll be nice to get those Klingklangs up and running again (Jan? Wink

)

I hope Clavia will realize the ethical problem of continuing to sell new G2 units at a time that Vista is being more and more widely adopted, and at a time that the Mac world has been switching to the Intel platform.

If they had discontinued the product, then stated they would no longer support it, that is fine. Not happy news but it would be a reasonable stance.

I think the G2 Editor and USB driver software ought to be released to open source. There are enough clever people in the world to make this work.

Tim,

I do respect your feelings but would you please reconsider your sig? maybe read this and please consider that respect is one of the key values we try to keep up here.

Done. Sorry, I got carried away by my emoti(c)ons Very Happy

.

And just for the record: I still love the G2 -dearly. And I like Clavia gear in general. Their user-friendly designs are without competition in my book. That's why I'm so frustrated now.

i had an argument (a drunken rambling ranting and irational but fun argument) with a producer i have much respect for. he was running a live set off a modular hooked into a 303, 808 and 909 via cv. a PHAT set up, as the saying goes. i'll have to find out the name of the modular, but it ain't a cheap one.

after hearing some of my G2 only compositions and hearing my brief explanation of how it works and the beauty of the hardware he vowed 2 things:
a) he would bring his whole analogue setup down to this gig he's doing in london early january (LO MOTION, it's free to get in incidentally) and
b) he wants a G2 because, well, it sounds like life would be much easier with one of those.

i was drunkenly and quite loudly disagreeing with him, that i would kill for his setup, but his list of griefs was about as long as my list of little things i love about the G2.

in the end he reduced my argument down to one thing. analogue sounds "better" and even then he wasn't completely convinced about that. i was.

however, in the cold light of day and with the clear vision of sobriety, with everything taken into account (especially money BEING an object to consider) i would take the nord any day over those synths.

there are no significant bugs that prevent me from doing an array of things quickly and intuitively that i simply can't do with any other equipment. couple a G2 with a bass station rack and it's CV gate capability and you have a genuine classic imho.

you sometimes need someone that doesn't own one to slap you in the face and give you a reality check! it's that good.

Clavia has already programmed an USB driver compatible with Windows Vista for the C1 and Wave synthesizers. I hope it's only a matter of time that they actually update the driver to support the G2.

In the readme.rtf file found inside the compressed driver file, it says:

"This generic Nord Driver for Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista operating systems currently supports the nord c1 combo organ and nord wave products. To install, connect the USB cable between your unit and computer and follow the on-screen instructions."

Maybe we will have at least a Vista driver in the future... I hope so. I don't like the idea of using a separate computer only to program the G2... I would sell it instead.

I doubt about the OS upgrade, though...
