Free Online Nord Modular G1 Patch Editor


Developer Peter van der Noord has introduced Nord Modular G1 Editor, a free browser-based patch editor for the Nord Modular G1.

The Nord Modular G1 Editor lets you create and edit patches. Van der Noord plans to add community patch sharing in the future.

The Editor should probably be considered a ‘beta’ release. The developer recommends using Chrome with it, and notes that “This is still a very early version. A lot of things don’t work or don’t work correctly yet.”

The Nord Modular G1 Editor is available now.

MIDI 2.0 Comes To Microsoft Windows 11


Microsoft’s Pete Brown and Gary Daniels recently shared an in-depth look at updates to MIDI support in Windows 11.


Key among the updates are support for MIDI 2.0. Here’s what they have to say about it:

“We’re excited to announce that Windows 11 now supports both MIDI 1.0 and MIDI 2.0 through Windows MIDI Services!

We’ve been working on MIDI over the past several years, completely rewriting decades of MIDI 1.0 code on Windows to both support MIDI 2.0 and make MIDI 1.0 amazing. This new combined stack is called “Windows MIDI Services.”

The Windows MIDI Services core components are built into Windows 11, rolling out through a phased enablement process now to in-support retail releases of Windows 11. This includes all the infrastructure needed to bring more features to existing MIDI 1.0 apps, and also support apps using MIDI 2.0 through our new Windows MIDI Services App SDK.”

Their article covers new Windows MIDI Services core features and more. Developers can also view the code on Github.
