Microtuning Tool for Nord Modular G2 works - Developer asking for tests

Somebody went ahead and wrote a Scala-to-G2 conversion tool. For
those of you who are unfamiliar, the Nord Modular G2 is a synth that
is very much like Max/MSP or Reaktor in that you visually drag and
drop modules and connect them into patches; except it runs on its
own dedicated hardware. One method of microtuning on the G2 involves,
among other things, using Control Sequencer modules which have little
sliders.

He has posted 2 sample patches - they are DX-style electric pianos
that have been tuned to Fokker and Meantone scales using the new tool.
I believe the sliders are assignable to MIDI CCs so dynamic retuning
may be possible.

Those who have a G2 who want to help the author test the patches, can
get them here:

He welcomes testers, so if you don't have a G2 (the patches won't work
with the downloadable software-only demo), maybe we can work something
out where I can test a composition and tuning of yours against this
new Scala-to-G2 patch conversion tool and see if the sonic results are
what you expect.

The tool has been released to the public, as part of the g2ools
application suite. If you own one of these synths or are thinking of
picking one up, here's what you do:

1. Download and install g2ools. Download location and instructions
for installation are here:

2. Download the new Scala-loading-and-conversion tool from here and
follow the instructions:
