The Nord posse were pretty excited when we talked to them at this years MESSE, showing a work-in-progress version of their upgraded and re-designed modular G2X system. Well for starters, we've got a final release date of August this year, as well as a Modular G2 software upgrade (v1.20) - released the 5th of July. It includes about 10 more modules (see for example the new unique noise oscillator on www.clavia.se ). But perhaps the most important news is the Mac OSX support. Here is a list of new features:
