G2 trouble

Post by jaykebaldwin89 »

Hi there,
i have a Nord G2 Modular, i have created and uploaded patches to it from my computer in the past, but now my computer wont recognize my G2 at all.
this is creating a huge problem as i have a new patch that i wish to upload and cant now until i get the computer to respond/recognize my G2.
any body know how to get it to work on my computer?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

What operating system (and version) is your computer running?

On a Mac, I think you need to use OS X 10.6 (or older). On Windows, I think you need 32-bit Windows XP or older, but 32-bit Vista might work (not sure).

If you have a newer operating system, running Windows XP in a virtual machine might be the most convenient option. But who knows, maybe you still have an old laptop or something like that.

If it should work on your computer, do you have the driver installed? I think you need to have a driver for the G2 installed.

Im using windows vista. The driver is already installed for the g2, and i have worked on it successfully in the past, but now it wont run. I checked the driver on the g2 and it is still installed so im out of ideas

Hi Jayke,

It could be that the USB connection on the Nord has failed. It sounds like you may need service... :-(

Does your G2 actually show up in the device manager in Vista? Even if there were problems with the driver, it should be visible there.

Also, have you tried different USB ports on your computer? Of course, you may already know a specific port works fine, because other USB equipment works on it.
