Nord Modular Editor OS X Beta
Due to the public demand and to support our Mac customers Clavia decided in 2003, to make a public beta version of the OSX editor available. NOTE: This beta is not a released software version and Clavia takes no responsibility for any bugs in the package nor will we do any further development of this beta.
This beta version of the editor is pretty much fully functional with OS X 10.1.5 and up til 10.6.8. A known bug is that if you control click on a module, to delete it or change its name, the editor will promptly crash. The workaround is to select a module and press the delete key, and to rename it just double click on the name of the module.
