What problems are you having Wout?
Why not post the error messages or screenshots?
The Mac people are running g2ools now, I'm sure we can get you on your feet too. No need to buy another computer just for that |
Well, my computer dates from 1998 and also runs the same named Windows version AND is completely overloaded with files (Just cleaned 1.5 Giga by deleting all the digi photographs which I don't want to keep and I have another computer which is infected by some virus, so I have to clean that one...

My misunderstanding- I thought you were referring to problems running G2ools, not just computer problems in general. |

How much space on my harddisk do I need to run Python and G2ools?

Thanks. In the museum there are three Prophets, so now I can describe which is which (most have still the factory presets)

Very Little
The Installer for Python 2.5 is 10MB, and I estimate G2ools is only a few MB or less. However, installers are usually compressed, so the real requirement may be more. When you run the installer, I believe it tells you how much space is required |

Well...
S**t...
The values of the Envelopes are not the same, at least, working with the ModEnv. I have to do the Filter and the Amp, so I'm a little afraid...

Does someone has a good solution how to measure the Filter and the Amp Envelopes? For the LFO's and the ModEnv I used the Pitch, because I could search for the lowest or highest wave, but pitch is unusable in this configuration... Most difficult is the Decay...

I thought you were referring to to a synth museum, because of ther talk of the prophets.
But this place looks very interesting as well. Klee, Van Gogh, Monet, et al.
I saw Van Gogh's Sunflower painting (original, not a copy) in Philadelphia, when I was visiting my family a few years ago.

Why can't you use pitch for the Filter Envelope? Set the resonance to max, and sweep. The Amp Envelope should be done with a very high pitch sine wave. That way the pitch of the sine doesn't interact with the envelopes frequency content. Then you can apply a low pass filter set high enough for the speed of the envelope but low enough to completely filter the sine wave. If you can, apply a rectifier (absolute value) on the signal before you filter. Then you get the exact filter envelope.

I had a few minutes to play with a lead 2X today. Just wanted to test some assumptions.
The noise on osc2 has two distinct modes. Regular, which is just like the G2 noise osc, where the semitone control = noise colour.
Sync mode (when sync and noise are both selected) sounds just like a G2 RndClkA, driven with 48K osc on the clock and Osc1 driving the sync input. The seed value comes from a quantized semitone knob. To be strictly accurate, you would need to find 12 seed values that matched the sync wave as close as possible, and have these in a table.
The rest of the synth sounds very close in character to a G2 IMHO. The few factory presets I tried were nice enough, but a little cliché for my taste. |

In the TryOut patch I used a OcsPhaseModModule in a feedback loop, just because of the patch load and voices available. I think the patch has to have at least 12, but better 16 or 15 voices on an expanded G2, including the Unison.
Just take a look and listen...

You can say this about almost any synth. Most of the factory patches I've ever heard are real sleepers. (although, I've never heard any Waldorf gear in person, but would imagine their sounds to be somewhat exciting) |

Sorry, I 'edited' the mail instead of 'quote'.
Now I miss the original mail...
I thought it was about the unison, which has on the NL3 a special DSP only to the unison, where the Leads2(X) have a devided voice allocation. (by half) and where the unison has to be placed: in the FX or in the voice area. Last edited by Wout Blommers on Tue Apr 24, 2007 1:35 am; edited 3 times in total |

And of course the use of the sound isn't known. Besides drones and noodles all patches have to be heard in their musical context. Sequences, like Dasz creates them, also speak for themselves.

Although the LFO routings are not as on the Leads, which is of course one of the reasons why this emulation on the G2 is so interesting, to make changes in the architecture, I miss the LFO2 direction to the Amp modulation. Using the AmpMod input of the results in silence when the LFO isn't connected... That's why I used a LevelModulator module.
Clavia did the same in the Lead>Classic conversion.

The NL2/2x does in fact lose polyphony from unison. It is the NL3 that doesn't.
Is there a way to make the G2 trigger multiple detuned voices with each keypress? I suppose it could be done in performance mode (disabling slots B, C, and D to not use unison, disabling slots C and D to do poly unison, and enabling all slots to do mono unison minus one voice... the NL2 in mono unison has 2 voices on each side of the stereo spectrum plus one in the center...) |

I think there's a forum issue here Wout...I just "Quoted" Ian (and made sure I clicked quote after reading your message), but I think it edited things as well.. I'll see if howard or stein can fix this. |
