"LOL I believe Jefferey Epstein and I had at least one thing in common!" doesn't further the discussion in this thread, and it definitely doesn't help your case.

If you're going to make a Jeffrey Epstein joke, at least don't make one that takes you down with it. Jeffrey Epstein never had this problem because he never used anything other than 16-bit software.

Let's not forget that this is a small company. This "team" could well be one dude with a long punchlist of projects. But whatever the sitch in Stockholm, it's clear that this forum cannot satisfy the OP's thirst for knowledge. So I suggest he keep calling Clavia until someone there gives him the answer he craves. Probably wouldn't hurt to have a Swedish phrase-book at hand...

Apple is not ending support for all previous versions of MacOS on the day that the new version is released which lacks 32-bit app support. I would interpret the phrase "before Apple ends their support for 32-bit applications" to mean as long as there is *any* Apple-supported version of MacOS which can run 32-bit applications.

This will be small comfort to anyone who may be needing to use the newer version of MacOS (which does not support 32-bit apps) for some other reason. I would guess that new MAC devices will start shipping with the new version of MacOS soon after the non-beta becomes available from Apple. Some people may be planning to upgrade to new MAC devices because their current hardware is too old, running short on storage, or just broken. It will not be a practical option for such users to downgrade their version of MacOS, whether it is technically possible or not.

I think this wording was chosen very carefully by Nord. They could have said that a 64-bit version will be available from the Nord download page with 'x' number of days after any non-beta MacOS version is officially released from Apple, which does not support 32-bit applications. But Nord did not say this.

True - so there is much room for interpretation in both directions, could be as you said but also that Nord considers Apples end of support for 32bit happening when the most current OS does not support it anymore. No reason to just think the negative or the positive way - it’s all about wait and see what happens when Catalina’s final version is released.

let's just make sure to cook this thread until Catalina is ready, making sure the topic will not be forgotten until then

Oh good grief.

If Apple releases new Macs in September, as is apparently likely, those Macs will not support 32-bit apps.

But yeah, I’m sure Clavia are hedging their bets and won’t release a 64-bit version until Apple stops supporting Mojave, some five years from now. That’s surely what they mean.

Well it seems that this thread has run its course regarding Nord Sound Manager.

To get things on a more productive path, have any Mac users received a warning message regarding 64-bit compatibility for Nord Sample Editor? Any thoughts ?

It's like Christmas in September! Clavia Support wrote me again today and let me download 64-bit versions of Sound Manager and the Nord Electro OS updater. If I weren't traveling at the moment, I'd have my Nord with me, but I can confirm that what Clavia is currently beta-testing works with what Apple is currently beta-testing, as in the apps actually open up.

Now that there's a new answer to the question that's central to this post topic, i thought it deserved an update. I'll test the apps out more thoroughly when I can, but it looks like Clavia is at least 90% there in terms of being ready for Catalina. Cheers, all.

My goodness, what got into them?
