Nord Modular G2 Editor
A cross-platform editor for the Nord Modular G2 synthesizer.
Goal: stay close to the original Clavia editor workflow. Key commands, menu, toolbars and module rendering are almost identical, so G2 users feel at home. Apart from that there are some improvements: fixed side panels instead of floating windows, and more ways of patching to fit different workflows and speed up patching.

Editor and terminal
- Editor: the desktop app for creating and editing patches and performances. Everything for normal use.
- CLI / daemon (
g2-cli): the same USB layer that the editor uses, without a GUI. Use it for scripting and automation (bank backup/restore, batch uploads, getting and setting patches), for headless control, and for protocol research and debugging. The editor itself talks to the G2 through this daemon. See CLI Commands.
