Hello. I started working on a Nord Modular to PD converter. ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/sci/audio/devel/nordmodular/
NM users have patched thousands of free instruments (http://nordsynth.zevv.nl). It would be nice to be able to use the user-made instruments elsewhere.
I choosed PD but we should make the converter general enough so that converters to other modular systems can be written. I can work on them as well.
Check for "http://nmedit.sourceforge.net" for a NM instrument file parser. The NM file format is close to PD's own. Anyone could rewrite the parser standalone in C, Python, etc?
[[ I see no problem in writing the converter. Buying a Nord Modular does not mean that its users should restrict their intellectual property to Nord Modular. ]]
