Nord User Forum

Hello to all of You, This is my first posting.
I own a Nord Modular(further:NM), V 3.03., working excellent.
But I cannot establish a connection between the NM and any Editor software. I have a cheap USB to MIDI converter, hooked to a Mac (OS X10.7.5). For software I tried Nomad 0.3.02 as well as the Nord Modular Editor OSX BETA. I also have tried windows 7 with some editor program on the same laptop, yet i dont remember the name of the editor. I even grabbed an old G4 Macbook and tried to install the old Nord Modular hqx file, to no avail...
When i connect the MIDI cables to the MIDI in and out ports of the NM, i can play notes from the Mac, and the "Audio-Midi-Setup"-Program shows its all ok.
But i constantly fail doing anything through NM's MIDI ports named "PC in and out".
The LED on the MidiBox is flickering, indicating there is constant data transferred to the PC.
The NM does not show up in any of the programs, and i cannot up- or download patches.

Does anybody have any help on that subject? Any caveats, maybe a newbie primer to start with?
I also tried an (in OS X) old Unitor 8 Midi Box, and a Hammerfall multiface Firewire i/O box, but couldnt' get those damn Mac drivers to work.

BTW:is it possible AFTER ALL to load patches from the NM to the PC in order to edit, and understand them?

My final goal is to use the NM as a "playable" effect, by altering the input signals. The audio setup is fine, no questions on that. I have found that some of the patches stored in the NM are using the Input signals, and I was able to integrate the NM into my audio setup.

Any help would be appreciated!

Dirk
