Compatibility between Sound Manager 7.54 and macOS Big Sur

Does anybody have issues installing the Sound Manager v7.54 on macOS Big Sur (my version is 11.2.3)?
The issue I have is a message saying that "Apple can not verify if is contains malware"

Probably has to do with security settings on your Mac, more than it being compatible or not.

Hi FHebert,

please klick on the file while you are pressing the control key and open the context menu and choose "open". That should work.
I am running BigSur 11.2.3 and it works perfect, but I had to use the above described procedure to install the Sound Manager 7.54.

The manual doesn't say anything about that - but if you look into the update history, you find:
"Note: On OS X 10.15 Catalina - when first launching the app, ctrl-click the Nord Sound Manager icon and select Open from the context menu."
That seems to be what WilliT says, too.

Thanks for the tip! I was noodling over this tonight with my new Nord Wave 2, and couldn't figure it out. I didn't want to get too deep into sound design without a way to back things up, and didn't want to make room on the rack for my work Windows laptop.
