Need help restoring a performance patch in NORD LEAD2X !

[fischek]

all I wanted to say is I get the recursive nature of your joke hope you got me right

anyway, do you think there's a chance to do some sort of basic tutorials on how to accomplish things by using the nord lead? just some basic stuff - where to start when creating a bass, lead, strings, whatever...

[Wout Blommers]

I did some investigations on the machine which findings are worthwhile to write about. I would say, let's start I think we should start a new thread about it.

We could leave out the NordLead1 and you can do the results on the 2X to verify...

FAILURE

Set the cables to NORD, set the perf bank a9, used the midi OX and used the send sysex command after loading your file. Displays shows file sent but the nord perfromance is unchanged.

I'm using m-audio interface for midi - which works cuz I used the nord to trigger software before and I also was able to dump file from nord via midi-ox.

Damn it. Why couldn't CLAVIA just use a stupid USB port? Does it cheapen the product somehow.


I don't think my sequencer MPC500 can send midi files, I went thru the whole manual no mention of that.


I guess I will have go to the store and ask if I can dump right from the nord itself.

yea I checked the cables, I have only one running out the computer interface to in on the nord.

this is the send message....

At first glance it looks like a normal Performance file...

Only the synth refuses to recognize it...
I'll have to admit I never had any success using Midi-OX other then looking at the Midi in text and the fact the program claimed all the MidiPorts, so I have to set all other Midi tools back to their Midi...

But there are a lot of people using it with much pleasure, but such things are normal in computerland

Last option, but a nasty one. If press [Shift+LFO1-Wave (that is the left button)] and you turn any knob, does the LCD screen reads its value?
If so, I'll send you all parameters, you open 1-A9 and change all to the right values... Then save it...

At least you'll learn something on the way

Wout

[Wout Blommers]

Assuming [Shift+LFO1] works, here are the parameters.

Read it.
Go to Performance 1-A9 and be sure only Slot A and B are lit (If more, press all until just one lits and press Slot A and B)

First press Slot A till it blinks.
Then press [Shift+LFO1] and turn LFO Rate and set it to the desired value.
Go through all knobs (only 25!)
Then activate Slot B and do the same here. You can leave alone [Shift+LFO1], it won't affect anything.

When done leave [Shift+LFO1] and check the sound!!!

Save it!

Please tell us about any results...

So you basically would want me to recreate that performance patch from the programs...

I gotta tell you I played rock for on my guitars for 15 years, in the past 6 months I was learned to use my MPC, some basic keyboard stuff - like appreggios and stuff, and I'm programming my POD X3 - but that's as much as my guitarist brain can handle

thanks so much for help you guys, I actually took the easy way out - per your advice I took the nord to local music shop and dump the performance right in to my keys.... IT WAS SO EASY !!!!!!!!!

I wish I had the money for a 2nd keyboard to do this... Maybe I should save up the wave (that one has the USB !)

Thanks again !

[POGphile]

Before I go, two more questions

1. I also have Alesis Micron, do you know if I can store midi files in there?

2. I have Analog Factory which has some sweet patches, is there any way to use those in Nord leads 2x???
