Thank you very much! That's a nice alternative.

Couldn't someone write to Nord and ask how much money they would like for writing a new driver for the osx 64bit? And then do a fundraiser :-)

You can do it easily by yourself - see the form at the bottom of this page: https://www.nordkeyboards.com/support ;) .... or try clavia@clavia.se (not sure though if this is still an active email address)

Hi.
Were you able to run the nord modular G2 editor in wine, but also establish communication with it?
I have a problem installing Nord Modular G2 USB drivers in Wine on Apple Silicon?
Do you know how to establish communication with the g2 modular in Wine?

That's the reason.
Upgrading this little piece of sw, Nord shows it's Client oriented vocation, not only to the G2 owners, but to all. To know that your investment is protect, overmore when the instrument is not upgraded with a new release, but is the last of its cycle, is the most importat pubblicity for Nord.
It is a cost-benefit problem, from my point of view, in this case, cost is ridiculus and the (Nord) benefit are very high.
That's all
Does your company also keep updated ALL your software products, including the ones out of support (deprecated/discontinued)...? And if it does it, it does for free?
Following your thinking, then Microsoft should have continued to support Win XP and all old devices of 10 or more years old PCs...? :roll:

And all this when a (free) VM running Win Xp (or even Wine, I tried it with the G2 editor a Mac) solves the problem of running the existing G2 editor on any modern PC...? Come on... ;)

PS: I have been working for a big IT company too... "the Client is the key point of our Mission", sure, as far as they pay... :mrgreen:

I don't own a G2, I only played with the editor but on an Intel Mac, I am not sure if/how it would work on Apple Silicon Macs, at least I cannot test it.

Alternative is to use Parallels Desktop to run Windows on Apple Silicon (but is is not free/cheap) or get yourself a used/cheap Windows notebook to use with NMG2 editor.
