Small update of the development, all basic stuff that is very important for the overal feel and workability:

  • USB: refactured so it is now much much faster! param changes from G2 reflects immediatly in the editor.
  • USB: connecting, disconnecting now stable. Auto connects when editor starts.
  • USB: unplug and replug usb-cable automatically connects again with editor.
  • File handling improved: loading, saving all works as expected with normal UX flow and key-commands
  • Key commands for slot, variation, area switching, and rightpane selecting.
  • A lot more module components are rendered. Still a lot of work to do here.
  • And a lot of small UX improvements

Some things that needs to be done before others can test:

  • More editing options implemented
  • More modules/components rendering
  • Editing Patch/Performance settings

So now off for a few days :wink:

I will prepare my G2X and drop some coins for this projectā€¦ after my MacBook returns from repair. :melting_face:

Thank you, Burpy, for doing this! :pray:t2::raised_hands:t2::heart:

@Burpy Perhaps Reverb.com would invest you with some development funds to increase the price (and their cut) for resales of Nord Modulars? They take circa 8.2% and the G2X seems to be going for $3K there currently. Other models are also regularly over $2K, although mini-models are less, and the price is no doubt fading due to lack of software-support.
Updated editing software would boost prices!

I was not aware of this philosophy and personally find it absolutely disgusting.

Regardless the philosophy behind reverb.com (and others) and increasing values of G2ā€™s (which i donā€™t care). I will focus my time on what i do best: developing, instead of very uncertain undertakings. In the meantime, everyone whoā€™d like to contribute in a way that saves me time and or backs up development is very welcome.

Very small dev update: Iā€™ve reached a state with rendering of the modules that i feel is ok for now. A lot of graphs and graphics are working. Not all, but nothing that keeps you from editing. Now busy with finetuning editing modules/cables.

And a dev update for this weekends work:

  • Ledā€™s update
  • VU meters update
  • Cycles/Mem resources update
  • Patch level / mute can be changed (from editor & G2)
  • More rendering of types of text displays in modules (midi notes, chan, delay time, etc)
  • A lot of code refacturing / small performance improvements

Busy with some more USB comm improvements. Perf mode switching. And more refacturing. But coming closer to the point of a minimal working editor.

I mean that the Clavia editor does not run on modern macOS (Mojava is the latest OSX that could run it). On my M1 mac i have it running with UTM and Windows7. That works, bu you allways needs to start UTM and Windows7. I also have an old macMini with Mojave to run it. But alle those solutions feel as a burden to actualy use it, and does not feel as a modern OS, which is annoying (to me). Iā€™d love to have an editor that works easy on my M1 mac and startup as fast as any other app.

Donā€™t know if Wine would work. I tried it (years ago) and couldnā€™t get it working.

To use G2 editor with hardware you need not only the editor software itself but also the nord usb driver and I donā€™t think wine support windows driver. The only way to work with g2 hardware on a modern apple silicon mac is to use a virtual machine, like UTM (as I document here).

I do want a native open source editor and definitely want to support the development financially.

Does the G2 work with Windows 11, on a standard PC laptop?
I have a new Dell now but havenā€™t used my G2 for many years.

True, the midi dins are also more robust than USB on G2. Enjoy your NMM, they are great!

FYI: The editor iā€™m buidling for the G2 uses a very robust C usb library, and it will be part of the build itself: So no need for external drivers/libraries.

Small dev update:

Iā€™m rounding up the first goal (basic editor), polishing stuff, fixing some bugs etc. Also made some changes to the repo: Added a non tech page: Nord Modular G2 - Editor | NordModularG2-Editor & some minor changes to the repo itself: GitHub - JanBurp/NordModularG2-Editor: Editor for the Nord Modular G2 - For macOS, Windows and Linux Ā· GitHub preparing stuff for the first small group of testers.

If iā€™m ready with this phase i let you testers know. Hope in a few days / next weekend. With the input of the first testers a next round of polishing fixing bugs etc. And then i probably will open it up for more testers.
