Unfortunately, from Catalina onwards, Mac OS no longer supports 32bit apps (reason why I am staying on Mojave, since I have a few).

I wouldn't bet for Nord to release a new version of an 8yrs old sw, so maybe the best thing is to run it on a different computer with a compatible OS e.g. a Windows pc/tablet (or a Windows VM running on your Mac using Parallels or VirtualBox).

Another viable option would be Crossover (you can simply use the trial version) or Wineskin's recent x64 builds, both based on Wine, in order to run the Windows updater. Or a VM with either Win or an older Mac version, as maxpiano pointed out.

I tried running the manager in Wineskin, and everything seemed to work, until I tried to upload a bank. Apparently the app can't acces the \var\folders\ on my Mac, so it gives an 'Error 3: path not found" and "Bank archive seems corrupt". I tried adding the /var/folder to wineskin but that didn't solve the problem. Do you have any idea how this might work? Or maybe someone has the extra official artist banks as Sys Ex files?
