Other Nord Modular G2 Editors
There are a few other open-source approaches to editing the Nord Modular G2. Here is a quick comparison:
| This Editor | G2-Edit | Cube G2 Editor | G2Dev (Delphi editor) | g2-webeditor | g2fx | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Platform | macOS, Windows (Linux planned) | macOS only (Windows in progress) | macOS 15+ (Apple Silicon only) | Windows, macOS (Android unfinished) | Any browser | macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows 11 |
| Approach | Electron desktop app + C USB daemon | C++ | Native Mac app | Native Delphi/FireMonkey app; also a VST plugin and TCP-IP sync between editors | Browser-only; needs a separate hardware USB bridge | Native app; |
| Open source | Yes | Yes | Yes (GPL-3.0) | Yes | Yes | Yes (BSD-3-Clause) |
| Pros | Active development. Multi-platform; full feature set (in progress) | Active development. Full feature set. Sound Engine. | Active development. Native Mac. Spectrum/X-Y scopes via audio interface | Exposes hidden driver/resonator modules not in the official editor; VST + network sync | No install; runs in any browser | |
| Cons | Due to used electron platform, maybe slower then native alternatives. | Modules look different. | Apple Silicon Macs only. | No longer maintained. | Needs extra hardware bridge to reach the G2; no offline use | Not much information. |
All six projects are open source and free to use.
