Question hello. i am pretty new to all these stuff. i was working separately with keyboards and logic
but now i am trying to experiment in synchronization

so, here is my question
can someone explain how to make Logic to control Arpeggiator rate/tempo on Nord Lead 2x.

welcome eternityboy

There is no synchronization in the NordLeads LFO’s.
It is possible to set the Rate as near as possible to the MidiClock of a sequencer and to restart the LFO at the bar or another another signal, see [Manual page 67 to 69].
To set the Sate to BPM, see what I’ve found by measuring at http://nm-archives.electro-music.com/020_NordLead2/Red_Lady/Index_bestanden/Red_Lady/BPM.htm

To control the parameter use Midi CC 23.

To sync the NL2x arpeggiator to the MIDI clock of Logic, first turn the Nord's arpeggiator tempo counter-clockwise to a rate slower than the rate of Logic. Then go into the menu of the Nord to set the reset/retrigger rate to the desired rhythmic increment (if I recall correctly '7' is the designation for 16th notes, '6' for triplets, '5' for eighth notes, etc.). If the arpeggiator rate on the Nord is faster than the rhythmic retrigger increment, it will run at the Nord's rate. However, it will sync with Logic at the desired rhythm if the Nord's internal rate is slower than the retrigger rate.

I hope that makes sense. It was a bit of a hassle for me to figure that out initially. I had assumed that it would retrigger each time with only the first note of an arpeggiated chord, but it will play the arpeggiated chord as you would expect from any other arpeggiator (e.g. UP, DOWN, RANDOM, etc.).
