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 lepetitmartien, thanks for the advice on my nord modular problem. I *think* I understand what you mean on the OMS thing, but I'll have to re read it a couple more times. I screwed up trying to get a 'freemidi' set up too sorted out too, so its definately *me*.

Thanks also for the nord link, I'll definately try to get on that list.
I must admit I'm very impressed by the OSX edit page, it seems to work flawlessly on mine; at least with the banks of nord sounds I downloaded a while ago from Clavia's site. I'll get around to authoring my own new sounds from scratch eventually, up to now I just stare slack jawed at the screen trying to figure out what roles various modules can possibly be playing in the sounds I'm hearing!

"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)"

Oh dear, I've been using a midiman 2x2 up to now but a 4x4 should be arriving any time soon (with all the other damned hardware I ordered two or three *months* ago.)
Thanks again, John C.
