Hey pals,

I haven't used the sound manager in years. Recently bought a new laptop. I'm heading on the road and want to save my programmed sounds so I can use backline instead of bringing my nord.

Problem: I downloaded the recent version of Sound Manager. Connected via USB into thunderbolt 3, and the program is open but not connecting. All the icons are greyed out. Can anyone help? I leave Friday so unfortunately this is time sensitive. Thanks so much in advance!!

Best,
M

PS it's a Nord Stage 2, which I see is now "old school" !

I don't have a Mac, but maybe it's useful to declare which computer you have and what OS version.

No idea if the Stage 2 OS needs to have a certain version for the newer Nord Sound Manager, too.

Both sample editor and sound manager are working great on my M1 macbook air with both the NS3C and NW2.
I use an el cheapo USB-C docking station with USB ports.

I'm having the same problem as OP with a Nord Electro 5... program is open and not connecting - icons all greyed out.

Can anyone help?

Works great on my M1s -- (direct connect, no hub) wonder what is going on?

I run in on my Macbook Air M2 and no issues. Not sure if it is running natively on the Apple Silicon or it uses Rosetta.
