I've followed multiple links to download the patch editor but I can't seem to find the Panel for Nord Stage 2 anywhere for Ctrlr. It must not be supported or was taken down. I see you have a screenshot of what it looks like. Is there any way you could provide the file/panel?

Thanks in advance!

Hi!
Is there anything similar for Nord Stage 3?
I'm pretty happy with NS3 knobs themselves as a patch editor. but I'd like very much to store patches within a VST in DAW project, per channel, and not as a preset on NS3 (because I often forget to save the changes, and there are limited number of preset slots anyway).
At least, is there a way to make NS3 to send its current patch as a bunch of MIDI messages? Then I could just save them as a MIDI data and replay to my Nord later.

Do you really want to try to run a software that is so old? And not developed any further?

EDIT 2020-12: Seems as if I was wrong - ctrlr has new versions from 2020 on its web site. And seems to still be developed.

I'd like to be able to extract the settings from a certain program, too. The only way I know of is: querying every single knob.

Not really an answer to your specific request, but I would take a look at this great project :
https://ns3-program-viewer.herokuapp.com/

Maybe in the future will there be a ns3f to sysex that would maybe be helpful for you ?

The synth section with an editor is may be easier to edit rather than the existing keys / knobs combination

The problem is I'm not aware of any way to "query" a knob. It does send a CC when being touched (as listed in "APPENDIX: MIDI CONTROLLER LIST" in NS3 manual: https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sites/def ... on%20D.pdf ). It would be nice if there were a way to send a dump for all the knobs (i.e. their corresponding MIDI CCs) at once.

With "querying a knob" I meant the possibility to use the "monitor" button to show a value of any knob:

Hold the MONITOR button – found in the Program section – and turn a knob to view the stored setting of a parameter in the display without changing it.

Thanks for this! I've had my Nord Stage Classic since 2006 but didn't find this until now.
