Not posted on here for a long while...

Just got nomad working sort of with a google nexus 7 running ubuntu linux desktop 13.04 for arm processors in gnome 3.8 mode , hooked up to a maudio axiom 25 formidi, no drivers.

I had to launch it from the terminal and im having some problems saving files both to the synth and to the internal storage, but it edits fine, making a very portable touchscreen editor... a stylus or mouse is definitely required though, everything is pretty small.

The error i get when trying to save to internal storage is "could not find service to save file" ?? Dunno much about linux yet so maybe just something small i need to change.

Now to make a small wooden box for them both to go together...

Anyway just posting in case anyone is interested

I managed to get Nomad and the editor running under Wine, but how did you get the patches loading, and saving to and from the Nord? I've had no luck.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and have a midi to USB connector.

Let me know.

As of just now, I can get the NordEditor running with Wine, imorting and saving patches to and from the synth, but not Nomad. I used aconnectgui, but it's not working with Nomad. I would prefer to experiment with Nomad.

I didnt need to use aconnectgui

Did you get nomad to start?

I ran nomad from the linux terminal using

$ java -jar nomad.jar

Then connected to the nord using the connection dialog in nomad, the midi ports of my maudio controller were listed there automatically.

After pressing connect again the current patch in the nord loaded up.

For loading and saving to linux I had to make sure the file type was selected in the save dialog.

For saving patches to the nord make sure to deselect "save in slot" and select "save in bank" , this worked for me

Are you using a nexus 7? I had to switch to the Gnome environment, for some reason it wouldnt run in the standard ubuntu desktop.

Ive now also got this running on a raspberry pi with slightly less hassle in the setup, and over vnc wifi on an ipad... its quite good!

I can get Nomad running, saving and making patches okay, but not communicating with the synth, neither to save or to load. Where did you get to a 'connnect dialog'. I can't brows the banks, or change any settings under the 'Nord Properties'.

I'm running Ubuntu on a PC I built. I've been able to run the NordEditor under Wine with success, but not Nomad.

Have you tried File/New/synth ?

Then the spanner settings icon that appears in the bottom left section to set up midi. The yellow diamond icon next to that should connect you to the synth once your midi interface is selected.

Indeed I have. I get an error that communication has timed out.

Unfortunate.

have you tried another midi cable? turned out to be my culprit all this time.
ubuntu + midisport 2x2.
