This 'unofficial' Forum is dedicated to the Clavia Nord Keyboards, including the Nord Stage, Nord Electro and Nord Piano. Discuss any issues around Nord's keyboards, share your favorite patches, samples, and music. We are not affiliated with Clavia!
Everything about Nord keyboards in general; which one to choose, the sound manager, sample editor, and general discussion about the sample and piano libraries.
If you are thinking of a VSTi - there is no such thing in the Nord universe. Nord sounds and the Nord libraries are uniquely meant to be used with the hardware.

This and there are no official VST to control them either, the A1R one that you mention is actually an editor made by Synthmania.de (see https://www.kvraudio.com/product/nord-l ... synthmania ) not Nord, check Nord A1 downloads on nordkeyboards.com and you'll find none.
In general, Nord keyboards are meant more for live than for studio/DAW, apart from recording them as a generic instrument, like the original ones they clone (organs + pianos in particular and synths too); only integration is the basic MIDI one (Notes, Bank/Program Changes and MIDI CCs recording/playback).
