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.

Hey, good luck on your editor, it looks cool!

I have a question about what was stated in the GitHub README.

The original editor by Clavia does not work on macOS.

Would you please clarify? Do you mean that the editor wonā€™t run on current macOS hardware, or the editor might run, but is unable to communicate with Nord Modular G2 hardware, or perhaps both?

A few months ago I installed the original Nord Modular G2 Editor (Windows legacy) on macOS 26.5 via Wine 11.0 it actually worked and is up and running.

But thatā€™s the thing. Iā€™ve got the editor ā€˜workingā€™ but I donā€™t have a Nord Modular G2 to test it out with.

Do you think it might work if I had one?
