Version History
The Grand 2
2.3.0
Improvements
• Support for Mac Intel platform. To install 2.3 there are two
options:
1) Install The Grand 2 from original DVD like usual and
afterwards run the 2.3 web updater application.
2) Run the Web Updater application and afterwards copy
and locate the content files manually (Options page ->
locate content).
• Hybrid Rewire Mode: new option in preferences for standalone.
It allows receiving MIDI from selected port instead from Rewire
connection. Audio will still stream over Rewire. This can be
useful for plugging in MIDI manipulation applicatio ns in the MIDI
chain between Sequencer output and The Grand 2 (use a
virtual MIDI loopback driver like “MIDI Yoke NT” to do this).
• New global-menu entry: “Save as Default Bank”. It allows
saving the current bank as default bank. This bank will be used
the next time you reload the plug-in.
Fixes
• Fixed issues loading a program for the first time.
• Fixed a possible crash which could occur when changing the
model while playing.
• The Listening Position and other Room options are sav ed and
reloaded correctly to / from the Presets now.
• Keyboard Settings presets are stored properly now.
• Preset names weren’t updated correctly.
• Standalone: tempo and time signature settings in preferences
are stored now.
• Standalone PC: fixed a possible crash when the hardware
audio / MIDI device set in preferences changed.
• Standalone: latest settings are stored correctly now.

Fixes
the tuning scale editor and hit “ok”.
•
New “buffer size” option in Global option page:
With this option you can set the size of each voice buffer in
kilobytes. The bigger the buffer size, the less disk streaming is
required. By default, this is set to 96KB, but you may want to
experiment with this setting to find the optimum value for your
system.
• Corrected an issue which led to inaccurate tuning of well-
tempered tuning scale.
• Fixed 2 Samples
• Options: better memory handling when changing Grand Model
• OSX: sometimes the AU plugin could loose disk-streaming
ability. Fixed.
