Old Nord Modular Editor, what to call the editor in OMS setup ? Options

[Jaysee]

Hi, as I'm STILL awaiting the arrival of my G5, Kurzweil 2661 and other gear, I've been twiddling my thumbs fiddling about with my old nord modular (older 2oct keyboard version) on my even more elderly imac 400MHz. I never got the hang of either the nord editor........ or OS9 come to that. That pesky OMS setup confuses the hell out of me.

Are there any nord modular owners out there who can advise me on what one's expected to name the 'other' nord modular connected via the 'pc' in and out sockets?,(as opposed to the regular nord modular midi in+out ones). It doesnt like device 1 and 2 having the samename I eventually got it working (although I cant recall how! 'twas a late night.)after hours of trying to convince OMS that the editor was in fact a nord lead etc etc

I think perhaps when I get all the gear I'm waiting for up and running I might keep the imac in OS9 as a dedicated nord editor.....quite separate from the regular nord midi in+outs going to to the G5 and DP4.
Can you tell I'm sulking over not being able to use nords new fancy colour updated modular editor with my older model:-(
cheers.

Hi,

I'm not familiar with the level of use of OMS you are after, but thought you should know that there is a beta version of the Nord modular editor for OS X. You want at least version D, I think. It has some bugs, like you can't rename modules, but all the important functions work.

The beta version is not officially released by Clavia, but was discussed repeatedly on the Nord modular mailing list. You should download it and try it out if you want to get away from using OS 9.

Good luck,
John
