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.

Well…

Save the MIDI ports of the NM you should NOT SEE the PC ports of the editor or of the NM in OMS!!!

You you messed up wile trying to figure it out… uninstall completly OMS and start from the begining. Allocate the MIDI stuff in OMS to the MIDI ports where you have the MIDI in/out of the NM and don't bother there with the PC ports.

Remember the PC ports are MIDI BUT were only a roundabout found by Clavia to be able to make the NM communicate with the Editor. The Editor should find the ports used easily if you have a decent MIDI interface (NMs hate noisy underspeced interfaces, I've seen the results with old midiman small interfaces) and you should show him the way from inside (dive in the menus… I don't have it running)

If you have troubles connecting the editor, there certainly something wrong with your MIDI setup, NMs are touchy this way.

The OSX editor is 95% functionnal (some parts are touchy, but you can work your way around) so you can have a look on it once you dive in OS X.

For troubleshouting and other stuff the Modularlist is a must (I'm there too The modularlist is now at electro-music.com
