In this video, I introduce the revolutionary Nord Sound Manager version 9, which launched on July 4, 2024. This new version transforms the setup process by providing direct access to the Nord library and samples within the Sound Manager, eliminating the need to manually download files from the Nord website. The Sound Manager now exposes the cache, making it visible and accessible, significantly speeding up tasks like backups and creating bundles. It also auto-senses the keyboard’s operating system, providing update notifications and installations directly within the app. Join me as I demonstrate downloading and installing the Nord Sound Manager and explore its capabilities, including using it without the keyboard connected and understanding the difference between piano and synth samples.

thank you for making this! I just purchased the Nord Stage 4 keyboard. I need as many tutorials as I can get.

I finally understood what the update does 5 minutes into the video (you explained what a cache is very neatly, but I needed to see the diagrams to make me understand! :)). It will be very handy not to have to get the USB cable out every time! Thanks so much for this presentation, Marc.

@MRFThorne I think this update will encourage more people to update to the latest OS since it will be easier to identify, download, and install, which is generally a good idea. I'm happy to see them invest in their support software like this to make life that much easier for their users.

Great Video. Note that if you have the old version of the Sound Manager on your Mac the Sound Libraries do not show up on the new version. Was driving me crazy. As soon as I deleted the old version and reinstalled version 9 everything was fine.

@markdamia6628 Hey Mark, I didn't realize that. If this is how it works, this is a GREAT tip. Thanks!

@@MyKeysToMusic When you install the newest version on the Mac it doesn’t remove the old version. Ironically the old version automatically gets superseded on the Mac “dashboard “ by the new version. So by default I started up the new version. Following your video…..NADA. No instruments in the pulldown therefore no sounds. I don’t know why but I went to the FINDER I found both versions. I deleted both and reloaded version 9 and Viola! Everything showed properly. The only explanation I can come up with is version 9 was using some data from the old version. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much for this video, this helped a lot. I’m on Windows and I had the problem that after the download of some samples the cache symbol didn’t appear. I don’t know if that’s a window thing, but under edit/ preferences my cache size was set to zero and you can also choose a different place/ directory for the cache. After changing the size and place now everything works fine

Awesome @Iceleben - great to see you got it working! Version 9 is the best so far...

Thanks for using a SAGA intro 🙂. But can you make that sound on a Nord?

@MyKeysToMusic Ай бұрын

@davidpax Hey David, the Saga tune is sort of on the long-term bucket list to do someday. Want to learn the solo part as well.

Marc, great video as always! I just have one complaint. The app, like the older versions, only recognize one keyboard at a time. When in my studio, my keyboards are always connected through USB. I wish the app could detect both and allow you to chose which keyboard to work with via dropdown list. I have to turn one off to force the app to see the other one. Not a major problem but I'm surprised this was not addressed in such a major update of Sound Manager.

@MyKeysToMusic Ай бұрын

@ldifalco2010 Thanks, Lou! I completely agree! They probably figured it wasn't worth updating the app as most folks own only one Nord. But the more I look around, the more I see that there is a growing number of people with multiple Nords, so the idea is not so far-fetched as it was in the early years of their history. Good suggestion for a future change. I also recommend that they let us audition the sounds right from the app as well so we don't have to run back to the website to do that.

@@MyKeysToMusic What I really like is the ease of making updates. I noticed on my Electro that the tiny keyboard icon was not present in the "Inst" column but I knew those samples were installed. The app was telling me that I had an older version. By simply selecting the older version on the keyboard and the newer one in the sound library and then clicking "Substitute Selected Sound", the old version was erased, new version downloaded and installed with one click. This is a great and simple feature that saves a a lot of time.

@@ldifalco2010 AWESOME! Yes, the substitute feature is so powerful in that example. And now with the ability to easily access the "latest" samples in a given family, you have a marriage of features to make life easier in this area of the Nord platform.
