Is anyone using El Capitan OSX to run G2 with success. I have not upgraded only because of G2 and if it works I would love to know.

thanks

I'm still using Mavericks. Have you been using Yosemite safey with the G2 Editor, BTW?

I've just looked on a french forum I often visit and it seems to work under Yosemite. If I learn more about El Cap, be sure I'll tell you :)

So, as I've just actually tried and it seems to works (iMac 21' Sep. 2015, OSX updated since then).

I've downloaded the editor, launched it, then connected my G2: patches loaded in the editor. I could save a performance on the computer. I could reload it.
I quit the editor and came back: had a message error "Major error". Unconnectd/reconnected the USB cable and it was on again. Tried it several times and it worked the same.
I DID NOT TRY to really work with the synth, modules etc. Just a start, quit, get back, connect test.

I think I would go ahead, in your shoes I mean.

I'm going to mention it on the french forum as well, hope this helps :)

Just a small FYI, I've recently re-acquired my original G2X from a friend of mine I sold it to years ago, and I have re-installed the editor from OS 1.62 and after the suggestion from below about "un-connected / re-connect" it actually works under Mac OS 10.14.4 Mojave !!! I haven't done any extensive testing just yet, but it worked as soon as I fired it up the second time after the "Major-Errors" splash screen... the editor shows the current patch running, and when I change it, it does follow along.... so way cool to report the editor for now still works under Mac OS.... cheers
