Re: Coming Soon for Stage 4: NS4 Companion App for iOS
It's already bought. Now I'm going to test it. Thank you.

Re: Coming Soon for Stage 4: NS4 Companion App for iOS
Right now it only supports NS4 (but probably would work on a nord stage 3 with the midi learn function but not sure since I dont own a nord 3 and cant test on it). The main problem to add things like that is that its super hard to get it past the apple review. I had to remove alot of the things i wanted to put in the app since apple wouldn´t allow it. I also maybe a app that can use almost all functions on a nord through an app (can control the whole synth engine and make patches) but cant get that app through appleScotthoven wrote: 07 Feb 2026, 09:09 Besides the NS4, what other Nord HW is supported (or maybe partially supported)? Asking for a friend… (she has an NS3) — thanks!

Re: Coming Soon for Stage 4: NS4 Companion App for iOS
This is strange. Take a look at the app store pages for "MIDI Mapper for Nord Keyboards," "MIDI Designer Pro X," or "Patch Base" -- they mention hardware products that they are compatible with (sometimes even listing specific Nord models). There has to be a way to indicate in the app listing that it is specifically compatible with the NS4, if for no other reason than that you don't want people buying it and complaining that it doesn't work with their keyboard, asking for refunds and leaving bad reviews!sagulf wrote: 13 Jan 2026, 19:46 The app got rejected the first time due to some references to Nord stage. Removing all reference to nord stage and trying again....
Re: Coming Soon for Stage 4: NS4 Companion App for iOS
Thats what i thought also, but maybe I just got unlucky with the guys who reviewed the app or something. I had to try 5-6 times before I got it approved and each time removing spesific ns4 functionality.anotherscott wrote: 07 Feb 2026, 21:07This is strange.

Re: Coming Soon for Stage 4: NS4 Companion App for iOS
I can't get "Reset Factory Programs" to work... all patch names remain empty. Any ideas?

Re: Coming Soon for Stage 4: NS4 Companion App for iOS
I haven't had a chance to test it yet.
But… I would like to suggest an option if possible. To be able to synchronize our setlists with iCloud. Because sometimes we can use the iPhone as we can also use the iPad.
Thanks.

Re: Coming Soon for Stage 4: NS4 Companion App for iOS
Just brought it - it will be very useful and worth the 2 cups of coffee price
I am hoping for preset names at some point but I'm guessing the Nord use a non-MIDI USB communication protocol for that ?
It would be nice for Nord to co-operate with this venture, as it just makes an incredible instrument a bit moe incredible
Thanks for getting it through the system
