Version History
The Grand 2
2.3.0
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.

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.
