I can have the USB port to control the presets (MacBook Pro with VirusHC) and the two MIDI ports to be connected to other hardware, Toraiz Squid, Analog Rytm MKII, Nord Modular, MiniBrute, etc, without depending on a computer?
This would really be the ideal.
For now, for me, it's a potato. Let me explain... Just starting it says not to use the USB port, you have to use the MIDI port, leaving you without the possibility of using the synthesizer in an external way, you are conditioned to use it with DAW.
I have a Nord Modular G2 and Nord Micromodular that have a patch editor, but, but, they have an exclusive MIDI port to connect with the computer, leaving another free MIDI port to do whatever you want, such as having a set of machines. The computer ONLY serves to deal with patches.
This is what I expected from this fudge, that the USB port would be used to handle the Patchs and with the MIDI port used with an external drumboxs and synth system.
Nord Modular G2 v1.62 work perfectly in to Mojave 10.14.6... I tried it right now.
However, I use a PC with Windows XP as a old, old machine (Pentium processor) to have my two Modulars (G2 and Micromodular).
At iMac I have: port 1 RME, port 2 Virus TI2, port 3 Analog Rytm MKII, port 4 Hub USB 7 inputs (cheap) all full.
MacBook (USB-C) Apple adapter USB-C to USB (work pefectly) and _or Elektron Overhub (work perfectly).
From the first moment everything has worked well.
I have never had any problem.
Work perfect with Mojave 10.14.6, MacBook Pro (USB-C) and iMac 2014.
