Edit: the links no longer work – see update 2025

I recently ran into issues with v7.84 of Nord Sound Manager when trying to download sounds to my Nord Piano 5. I found that the best solution would be to simply use an older version of NSM, only to find that Nord ONLY links the newest version of NSM on their downloads page.
When inspecting website's source, I found that older versions of NSM are actually there, but Nord just doesn't link them anywhere!
I ran a quick script and found NSM versions 7.10-7.82. Here are the download links:

Should Nord decide to fully remove these older NSM versions from their website, I'll make sure to upload them here as files or upload them to archive.org.

Thank you. The last two versions of NSM have a bug preventing the conversion of "newer" NSMP (NSMP2 format) files to NSMP4 format for the Piano 5 (members have noted that v7.70 worked fine). Though stated otherwise, Clavia has not yet created a version of NSM that will provide the same conversion for the Stage 4.

I see this is your first post. Welcome! Appreciate that you immediately added value to this forum!

Looking for v5.58. Last supported version for my Nord Wave. Anyone got it working in OSX Lion possibly?

I'm using Nord Sound Manager v7.66 successfully with Nord Wave on macOS Monterey

Thanks, but all the links are now dead.
I am trying to download the Nord Sound Manager for an urgent backup before taking my Nord Grand in for a service.
Official link is dead as well (!)
https://www.nordkeyboards.com/software/ ... d-manager/

Okay main download link is actually fixed now, I guess they were quick

I discovered many of these are working on another domain - try replacing "www.nordkeyboards.com" with "dev.nordkeyboards.com" - this worked for me:

https://dev.nordkeyboards.com/sites/def ... 0v7.64.dmg

Thanks @funkymusic, that's helpful!

I raised the request to Clavia to maintain a download section on thier website for older versions of their software products, like an archive for testing or compatibility reasons. They replied that they don't have it right now but understand the reasons for having access to such a repository and have taken note of the request, so let's see if they establish something like this at some point of time.

Hello, I have a nord stage 3 and I wanted the old version of nord sound manager to add programs from nord stage 2. I wanted the v7.64 version. Can anyone help me?
