Have you set the MIDI channels correctly in the Nord?

Everything works just fine on my Macbook, but with the iMac not! Only data transfer, but no MIDI.

Yes, I did check all Nord's control, otherwise I couldn't do it fine, with the Macbook.

True.

If you start the 'Audio MIDI Setup' utility and make sure the MIDI window is open, does it show the Nord as a MIDI interface? If not, try pressing the Rescan MIDI button at the top of the MIDI window.

In the image above, it shows the Virus and Blofeld 'greyed' out because they are not currently attached; they were at some point however, so my Mac still knows about them.

The Electron TM-1 interface has a DSI Evolver attached to it via MIDI cables; this isn't automatically detected, but I 'drew' those cables myself. You don't have to do this though, but it does give you some extra configuration options. This image is from some other post where I explained how to test a MIDI connection (different issue).

You Nord should show up like the TM-1 (not greyed out), with nothing attached to it. The Nord is class compliant, which in practice means you don't need any drivers when using equipment/operating systems from say the last 5 years. For example, if you connect it to an iPad, it should be detected as a MIDI controller.

If you can see your Nord (when connected via USB) from the Sound Manager, the USB connection itself is clearly working. Since it works fine as a MIDI device on your other Mac, this seems to rule out your Nord as the issue.

The most likely cause then seems some kind of software or configuration issue on your Mac, but right now I can't think of anything that hasn't already been mentioned.

MJBRANDS I couldn't see Nord on the list, so I tried to rescan, but it freezes.
Then I created a new configuration , by clicking on the selection box, that was default.
After this done, all my MIDI stuff appears normal now, and Nord Stage 2 rules!!!

Thank you!

I still wonder why this happened in the first place, but I'm glad you got it solved and it is working fine now. :-)

Have you tried another keyboard with one of the computers that you have installed the driver on?
