G2, G2X and new G2 OS

Hi friends!

We're proud to let you know that our most recent invention, the Nord Modular G2X (the 5-octave version of the Nord Modular G2), now is finalized. It will be shipped in August. Moreover a new G2 OS has just been launched. The following is an attempt to provide a release text (pictures are attached). In case you want more info/pictures, we'll be happy to help out.

New G2 OS
Clavia does not only produce the world's best keyboards - we also realize dreams!

It's a pleasure for us to let you know that a great product becomes even better, introducing the new version 1.20 G2 software. Among the new features we believe that the Mac OS X platform will become the most appreciated. We've also added a number of new modules whereas the MIDI Control Automate module is likely to change the lives of players who need total MIDI control over their rigs on stage as well as in the studio. We also endow you with the ultimate tools for adding color to your sounds. How about a FM operator and a DX router that let you simulate any old DX7 sounds? You also find effect modules such as Pitch Shifter and Scratch. A brand new group called Random includes six new modules that are very helpful to add more life to your patches and get the organic retro feel. Above this we also provide a Noise Oscillator which is a revolution for producers of wind-instruments and organ simulations.

What can the new version do for you?
