The most useful work now is on the product: the screens players use, more instruments supported end to end, and testing with real instruments and files.

What helps most

1. Test with your own Nord. Run Check my Nord and share the result, or open an issue for a file that doesn’t open correctly. Owners of models marked “ready to test” help most.
2. Product and UI. The Library, the program views, the sample workshop and the device screen.
3. More instruments. Readers for models that are recognised but not yet read in full. See Supported instruments.
4. Docs. If something here is wrong or missing, fix the page. Every page has an “Edit page” link at the bottom.

Ground rules

• Share players’ own work only. Never add a path that shares or redistributes Nord’s factory sounds or sample libraries. See Legal.
• Keep hardware optional. Everything that can work from a file must.
• Small, tested steps. A small pull request with a test beats a large speculative one.
• Update the docs in the same pull request. If a change is something a player would notice, the page that describes it changes too, and the changelog gets a line.
