Can the G2M be converted to the G2M vers. 2?

Post by zenjazzplayer »

I have a G2M. Can the firmware be updated to the G2M vers. 2?

Does the G2M vers. 2 work better with a wind instrument (trumpet) than the G2M?

Does the G2M vers. 2 work as well as the i2M with a wind instrument (trumpet)?

No, it can't be upgraded. The V2 is a redesign with new hardware, so an update is not possible.

Yes, it will be better. Not only are the algorithms updated, but the filtering has been improved to remove higher harmonics that can cause problems with instruments with many overtones (such as wind/brass).

Almost. In "guitar" mode, the G2MV2 and the i2M are the same, but we also have a "wind" mode in the i2M which has some subtle optimisations to improve performance for wind instruments. It also lets you track the sound envelope which can be used to control aspects of the MIDI sound for better realism.
