Nord Modular Editor on OS X using wine

[Mr.X]

I'm wondering if some incredibly kind person that has successfully patched Wine for OSX so it will send/receive SysEx would be willing to post it here or PM me with the file so I too can use Wine with MIDI SysEx.
I'm a PC guy and am completely lost when it comes to building/patching source code on OSX, or even doing command-line stuff on OSX.

Hopefully it's something that someone wouldn't mind doing.

Thank you, and also thank you so much tinez for making that patch!!

Hi guys! I have some problems, when i brew install --build-from-source wine, appears this:

You may want to get winetricks:
brew install winetricks

The current version of Wine contains a partial implementation of dwrite.dll
which may cause text rendering issues in applications such as Steam.
We recommend that you run winecfg, add an override for dwrite in the
Libraries tab, and edit the override mode to "disable". See:
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31374
EOS

if build.with? 'x11'
s += <<-EOS.undent

By default Wine uses a native Mac driver. To switch to the X11 driver, use
regedit to set the "graphics" key under "HKCU\Software\Wine\Drivers" to
"x11" (or use winetricks).

For best results with X11, install the latest version of XQuartz:
https://xquartz.macosforge.org/

Im running OSX 10.8.5, hope to solve this issue to use my Nord Modular !

Thanks guys u are great![/i]

[tomigonzo]

Hi guys,

the editor is running well with wine but i can not connect my micro by usb midi.
It is "still looking" state (the midi cable works well with Live)
Any idea to fix it?
thank you

[Mr.X]

tinez has discovered that wine.app on OSX is dynamically linked, which means that a library can be replaced without having to re-compile all of wine! This is great news, and with his most-appreciated help, we tried this on my MacBook, and low and behold, it works perfectly!! He did the patching himself to winecoreaudio.drv.so and then I just replaced the existing file with this new one. A reboot and voila! I now have SysEx working on Wine!!!

So happy!

So here's the step-by-step. You'll need to know how to install a program and how to use basic terminal commands.

1. Install Winebottler, version 1.7.53. No idea if it will work with 1.6.
   
2. Download winecoreaudio.drv.zip and extract winecoreaudio.drv.so
   
3. Put it somewhere easy to find. In my case we used ~
   
4. Open terminal and type:
   

   Code:

   cd /Applications/Wine.app/Contents/Resources/lib/wine/ cp ~/winecoreaudio.drv.so .

   
   
5. Reboot and try wine.app with any Windows software that uses SysEx.

I'm not a Mac guy AT ALL, so let me know if I have any of these steps wrong or if this doesn't work for you! Also, I'm not responsible if your computer stops working after this!!

[indeep]

Works like a charm.
Thanks for porting this ancient yet perfect piece of software back to my computer.
I have also a Drehbank software (only runs on pc) that might work with wine, (when i need to edit something, i have to start my old pc just to make some minor adjustments).
But yes congrats for this and for your effort.

[tomigonzo]

HI everyone,

it looks like i have any midi issue with the wine, the win editor app runs perfect with wine, but i can not make any connection via midi (not via usb-midi, not m-audio firewire midi)
any idea?

thank you

[membranoid]

Did anyone have luck with running Nomad on OSX 10 using the same method?

[tinez]

Is there any particuliar reason why you would like to work with Nomad instead of Clavias editor?

[membranoid]

[JeEA]

I Got nomad to work on a OSX yosimety, but
I have not yet connected my Micro modular.
The software seems to work.
I use the .jar exe file and open it with Java

I tried the osx version, but it Will not run.
The other version platform Independent 9,5 MB is the
one that seems to work for me

Cheers
Jens

[membranoid]

Well, I can open the Nomad app itself but when I connect my G1 it warns me with all sorts of midi timeouts. So, I can't get it to work on Yosemite. And yes, I use the platform independent installer. Please, let me know if you succeed with you Micro.

[JeEA]

Damn you are right.
The software works, but no response from my micro. The USB midi flashes all the time as if it works, but it does not.

Do not know what to do now

Anyone who could make it work?

I am not into wine except from the ones you can drink

Cheers

[JeEA]

Gave up on my Mac
Went back to Winxp and removed my USB/midi
interface and use only emagic emt4
That works great. Now i just need time to get to know "her"

Cheers

[squarewhite]

hi there!

wonderful that Nord Modular Editor works great with Wine! But alas I've one more issue, I don't seem to see my Knob, Keyboard and Browsers Window only I can open the notes floater window. I was able to see if before until once I closed it and it never appeared again. I'm using Mission Control for multi windows as well.. but have deleted all the other windows and still don't see the Browser. The Keyboard window popped by when i change the resolution of the monitor. How can I find the other floating windows?

I'm on mac 10.8.5, Wine, Nord Modular Editor V3.03.exe.

[cooperator]

Howdy
Thanks for this excellent post. Confirmed working on both El Capitan and Yosemite.

I followed the guide to create a clickable dock icon at this site:
http://pim.famnit.upr.si/blog/forums.html?/archives/15-Executable-script-in-OS-X-for-standalone-windows-software.html

This is the contents of my AppleScript (my exe is stored in /Applications/Nord Modular Editor/):

[Mr.X]

The changes tinez proposed have been implemented in the latest Wine.

No patching should be necessary any more if you are running the latest Wine.

[Redline]

Just to report that this combo is currently working for me:

MacBook Pro and Mac Mini running El Capitan 10.11.2
Nord Micro & G1
M-Audio Uno USB Midi Interface
http://www.m-audio.com/products/view/uno#.VqDO5fHNDRw

WineBottler 1.8-rc4 Development
http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/

Nord Modular Editor v3.03.zip for Windows
http://www.nordkeyboards.com/downloads/legacy/nord-modular

Downloaded and installed Wine in the usual way, didn't have to go anywhere near Mac Terminal, the Editor now opens in Wine by default.

Stable so far...

EDIT: Above combo also working using the MOTU UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid instead of M-Audio Uno:

MOTU MIDI Out > Nord PC In
MOTU MIDI In > Nord PC Out

[Ster Alliance]

hi, I have been reading all the comments.
I just got a Nord Modular G1 and I am running osx 10.8.5 ..

can someone pls help me set up my Editor, I don't really get it all here.

thnx

[Redline]

[Ster Alliance]

"Are you using the original Windows editor under Wine?

If so, plug the G1 PC In/Out sockets into your MIDI interface and go to Setup > MIDI in the Editor software. You should see your MIDI interface listed in the Port 1 In and Out section at the top. Select and enable that and see if the Editor can find the G1.

As you've gathered from looking at other peoples posts, it's pretty hit or miss getting the software to work.[/quote]

thank you for your reply

I installed Wine and then I try to install / open editor but then nothing happens. I would like a step by step explanation if someone is willing to help me.

I am really not a computer wizzkid but I know it can be done so yeah..

thank you

[Redline]

After downloading Wine and installing it, I downloaded this Editor:

Nord Modular Editor v3.03.zip Download for Windows
http://www.nordkeyboards.com/downloads/legacy/nord-modular

Unzip it
You should see a file called "Nord Modular Editor v3.03.exe"

Open Wine
Click on the Wineglass icon on your tool bar at the top of the screen.
Select File Manager

After a short while you should get a window with the folder structure of your Mac, find the Nord Modular Editor v3.03.exe that you unzipped, right click on that file and select Open.

Works here, once you've done this for the first time you should be able to double-click on Nord Modular Editor v3.03.exe and it will launch Wine and open the editor in one go without having to do the above steps.

[Ster Alliance]

thank you very much.. I will try it once I get home.

fingers crossed

[Ster Alliance]

[Ster Alliance]

I have now 1.8-rc4 running but 1.6.1 did not work either. I open the Nord Modular Editor v3.03.zip and I open the .exe with wine. all in my downloads folder. Nothing happens.


am I doing something wrong or are there other ways to have Editor running on macbookpro osx 10.8.5

thank you

[Redline]

I'm using Wine 1.8-rc4 which seems to work fine but am on Mac 10.11.2.

I never used Wine under 10.8.5 so don't have any suggestions I'm afraid.
