tem. We suggest that you start by
connecting output 1 to the left

channel of the sound system. Turn
on Nord Modular G2 first, followed
by the sound system.

Power on the synth and make sure the USB cable is properly connected between the synth and your com-
puter. From the Start menu in the Windows taskbar, select Programs|Nord Modular G2 V1.10|Modular
Editor V1.10. During the start-up procedure, the Editor software will automatically search for and estab-
lish contact with the Nord Modular G2 synthesizer. If the connection between the synth and the com-
puter is not working properly, an error message will appear. In that case, check the USB cable, make sure
that the USB driver is properly installed and working, and that the synth is turned on. When the Editor
has found the synth, the name of the connected synth is shown in the Status line. Any Patch currently
loaded in the focused

Note! If you received a brand new Nord Modular G2 or G2 Engine, the latest operating system is al-
ready installed from factory. If so, there is no need to update the synth.
If you need to update the OS in the synth, do like this:
1. Make sure the USB Driver and Editor are properly installed as described earlier in this chapter.
2. Power on the G2 synth and connect the USB cable between the synth and computer.
3. Make sure the G2 Editor is
not
running.
4. Open the ‘Modular Synth Updater’ in the Programs|Nord Modular G2 folder in the Start menu of
the computer and click the Update button to complete the OS update. As the update proceeds, the
