Has anyone been able to successfully update their machine to 1.08? I'm trying to get it to upgrade using a Mac, connecting with a Midisport 2x2 and CANNOT get it to work, for the life of me. After I select which MIDI interface I want to use (the A or B channel on the Midisport), the updater just displays a message saying "Please select the Nord Drum MIDI ports" before eventually timing out. I've scoured the manual and can't find the error of my ways...?

Hello hej_joe,
Welcome to the forums!

Are you using one of the OSX Leopards, or Lion?
I might venture a guess that if it's Lion, the Rosetta issue is the problem.

You might try borrowing a windows PC or contact Nord technical support at the following link:

Thanks, Hanon...it's Lion that I'm trying the upgrade from, but my work laptop is a wee Snow Leopard, so I'll try that and post my results here.

Cheers!

Hmmm....no luck.

Hmmm....no luck.

I went with my best guess.. (two other instruments have issues with Lion)
Have you contacted Nord technical support at the link provided?
Cheers, Hanon

I figured it out... Even though I've used the Midisport with a bunch of other devices without installing a driver (I thought it was class-compliant), when I installed the software from M-Audio's site, it finally worked. Yay!

Thanks for the suggestions.
