nord-cli

Your Nord from the terminal. nord inspects, edits and moves the sounds in Nord files and on a connected instrument, with output you can pipe and commands you can script.

nord inspect patch.ne5p                    # what is in a file
nord program get 7:4 -o patch.ne5p         # copy bank 7, slot 4 off the instrument
nord program edit patch.ne5p --set center_panel.gain=96 -o louder.ne5p
nord program put louder.ne5p 7:4 --yes     # and send it back
nord piano build strokes/ --name Marimba -o marimba.npno   # a piano library from WAVs

Anything that changes the instrument says what it is about to replace and refuses without --yes. Data goes to stdout and everything else to stderr.

cargo install nord-cli
nix run github:jmoo/drawbar#nord-cli -- --help

The guide covers every command, and What is supported says what has been tested on an instrument. This is alpha software: back up first.

Building

nix develop, then from crates/: cargo run -p nord-cli -- --help and cargo test -p nord-cli. nix build .#nord-cli also runs an install check. See Building from source.
