Next version of MacOS probably doesn't support Sound Manager

This is the right place if your topic concerns different Nord Keyboards, you are not sure which one is the right one for you, etc.

By all means: this is the time to start complaining about and to Nord.

No.. not correct. Most third party software will run just fine from the old applications folder.

You could also clone the existing drive and just do an inplace OS upgrade which would keep all of the existing authorizations and software in place. Obviously, you'd need to upgrade software that was incompatible with the new OS.

On the other hand there is NOTHING requiring anybody to upgrade.

The general rule is you don't upgrade production machines until you've fully tested the upgrade, but I guess there will be those that simply insist on jumping off the cliff anyway.

With that, I'm going to take the rest of my answers off the air and will not be responding further to this thread.

Another rule is, that when you put a sentence like this on your site, you could at least inform your customers when you are not going to meet the deadline:

"A 64-bit version will be available on this download page before Apple ends their support for 32-bit applications."

Agree - complaining is justified now

These last years, Apple always mentioned the final release date for macOS / OS X a couple of weeks ahead.
This year, this hasn't been the case, so I guess, the guys at nord were as much surprised as I was, since I was waiting for a final release date.
So, I guess, there's no need to panic, it should be a matter of one or two weeks. :thumbup:
These are not real problems.

Having been using the 64-bit Sound Manager software for a while now with no issues, I don’t know what Clavia is waiting for.

I hope they’re not saying “until Apple stops supporting Mojave.”

Thanks! Didn’t know Nord provides beta software... :clap:


Edit:
installed on Mojave (borrowed Interface doesn't support Catalina....... :facepalm: :lol: )

Finally... Retina support - I love it!! :thanks: Nord :keyboard:

I would've loved to see dark mode support and better organizing drag and drop features (not swapping programs, but organizing them e.g.)
But most important: macOS Catalina- and Retina-support :angel:

comparison 7.42 - 7.50 attached

The only thing why Nord hasn't publicly released it could be the fact that it's not signed by Apple. :)
