In preparing to arrange programs in an order for a tour yesterday, I also upgraded my Stage 3 Compact 73 to v2.64 and Nord Sound Manager to v9.00, running on a MacBook Air Running 14.6.1. I've never come across any problems when upgrading the instrument's system or Sound Manager's version.

Now when I view the contents of the Stage 3 in sound manager, instead of the standard numbering system you see on the keyboard (A:11.A:12.A:13.A:14.A:15....A:21.A:22.A:23.A;24.A:25,...A:31,A:32,A:33,A:34,A:35, etc...) Now Sound Manger just lists the lettered banks as A01 ~ A25 , B01 ~ B25, C01 ~ C25, etc.. The names given to each program remain, but the numbering system as seen in the sound manager software which once mirrored what was on the instrument is gone, and I see no way to change or recover it. Is this a glitch? A software problem? A Mac system incompatibility? I'm lost. However, it makes the organization of the instrument using Sound Manager (something super essential, for myself anyway) a horrible slog, on the verge of impossible. Any help or knowledge about this much appreciated. Thanks, Mark

I just installed the update to v2.64 and see the same problem in the Nord Sound Manager v9.00
I think this is a bug in the v2.64 firmware but this is only a display problem in the Nord Sound Manager. The order of the programs stays the same.
Just downgraded back to firmware v2.62 and the correct numbering is back again. If you need v2.62 for MacOS, just send me your email adress in PM.

I have contacted Nord about this issue and they're working on it:)

Good evening,
About this new update, what does it bring in concrete terms?

v2.64 (2024-09-12)
"Windows updater is now bundled with installer for Nord Keyboards USB Driver v4.x"

Nord Sound Manager v9.02 is now available. So the problem with the numbering should be fixed.
