USB and Sibelius

[LUISPA]

I am having a lot of trouble to get Sibelius software to recognize my Nord Stage EX (and the same happens with other software)... The driver is correctly installed in my PC, all the USB cables I have used are in perfect conditions, I have never had any problems working with the Nord sound manager, but still no sign of Clavia in the Input Devices list. Does anyone have a hint?

Hello LUISPA,
Welcome to the forum!

The Nord Stage Classic and Nord Stage EX don't provide MIDI via USB. They will only communicate with Nord Sound Manager.
You have to use some type of MIDI interface to get MIDI from the NSEx to your computer.

Thanks, Hanon! This is not good news, but I guess that I will find a way to sort it out... I thought it would be as simple as it is with my Kurzweil PC3X... Let's find then the best MIDI interface. Any suggestion?
Best, Luis

There seems to be a lot of active discussion about MIDI interfaces in this thread:

A friend just bought one of these, and it works very well with his NSC
