This is about some software developement I did for the Nord modular G2 synthesizer. I am not working on this project anymore, but I will keep this website up for a while.<\/p>\n

The Nord G2 is a virtual modular synthesizer, this means that it’s basically a computer. On the anolog modular synthesizers you make “patches” by connecting sound processing modules by cables, on the G2, this is done by editing software on a host computer. It communicates with the G2 using a USB connection. One of the nice things about the G2 is that you don’t need the host computer all of the time, you can store patches on the machine and use it on it’s own.<\/p>\n

What I am trying to do here is to create an alternative editor for the Nord G2. I am using the software creation tool Delphi for this. These are a couple of things I enjoy doing:\u00a0 creating sounds with the Nord G2 and developing software with Delphi.<\/p>\n

There are many interesting aspects for software developers in this G2 editor software: the USB interface, the graphical user interface, multi platform developement and so on. So for me it’s a very good project to learn something new and get some experience on these subjects.<\/p>\n

Hidden driver & resonator modules<\/strong><\/p>\n

While I was developing this editor, I found hidden in the firmware a couple of modules that have never been included, for some reason or another, in the original Clavia editor.<\/p>\n

These modules are a “driver” and a “resonator”, normally used in physical modeling applications. Here is a picture.<\/p>\n

\"G2_editor_FMX<\/a><\/p>\n

I can’t really tell much about how to use these modules, I guess it’s a matter of experimenting yourself, but you certainly can add some new dimensions to your patches with these modules.<\/p>\n

The driver and resonator are located on the oscillator page.<\/p>\n

You can use these modules in the editor that I’ve made, but remember that you can’t use these patches with the original editor.<\/p>\n

Other functionality<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some other things I’ve added are a VST for use in a DAW that connects to an editor using TCP-IP, also the ability to make connections between editors using TCP-IP. Another thing I’m working on is a version of the editor for small screen Android tablet devices.<\/p>\n

Current status of developement<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately I don’t seem to find time anymore two work on the project. But I took some effort to clean up the projects source code and put it up at github. You can find it at BVerhue\/nord_g2_editor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are three projects there, first the original windows only editor, then\u00a0 the FMX version, which can also be compiled for OsX. And there is a third which I started for Android, it works but was not finished.<\/p>\n

So feel free to do with the source what you wish, fork it, clone it or port it to another language.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
