Time nord released an editor for Nord Hardware.

Everything about Nord keyboards in general; which one to choose, the sound manager, sample editor, and general discussion about the sample and piano libraries.

The Kurzweil editor has major holes missing in its design...like the page where you assign controllers, the effects parameters, and the Kore64 waveforms missing from its list. I have communicated with Soundtower extensively about that, and they didn't care at all. Nor did Kurzweil.

Have you used the standalone Integra editor? It is not an official Roland product. I forget if it is available for mac or only Windows, but if a mac version is available it may be easier to use. The Windows version did have some accessible controls.

The most accessible keyboard editors I've seen are for the Motif series and the old Roland Fantom X. Oh, and the GSI Gemini one which is literally web pages.

I bloody love you mate! you are a top class genius. I'd given up hope on finding something for the integra. Had asked Roland about this and nothing. You GEM!!!! :)

Kurzweil's editor for MacOS did have some issues and yes a lot of functions missing I needed, but at the time, it was a fairly viable tool.

If you have good luck with that Integra editor I definitely want to know! While I'm on Windows, it'll be encouraging anyway. I don't have the module so I only see a few parameters; presumably the interface will change a lot if one was connected. Some editors don't show all the options without the device.

For the mac, wow, that's accessible. Now, if an editor could be constructed like that for the nord stage, electro, piano, grand and wave, as well as the lead A1 and 4, we'd be laughing.

now folks this is what I'm referring to along with my good friend here, even though it's for the integra 7, you can get an idea as to the layout I described and the principles behind such an editor, either standalone, or embedded into NSM.

Just tested this with my itegra 7 on MacOS 10.14.6 over USB and wow, I am impressed, able to navigate around and edit, get details of the patches, etc stored. Now that is an accessible editor. If someone could pull off a version like that for the Nord family of products, or if Nord itself could do this, then we're all going to benefit here.
