For some time I have experimented with decent trancesounds on my 2x, but I didn't get the result I wanted. Some introduced me to synthdesign.com where I downloaded 40 patches. The format is mid but I couldn't load them into my 2x. Has somebody else tried precisely this file? I even tried with the factory presets from clavia, to be sure that all MIDI setup was correct. I has no problems loading the factory pacthes, this just didn't work.

As far as I know the file is *.rar so is it Midi?
If you send me the files, I can try to open them.

I'll PM you about details

The file is a typical .MID file that contains 40 patches. I don't really have any idea what bank it is overwriting as the file is written for the standard NL2.
Normally when you play a .MID file to import patches, you can see the whole bank is being scrolled through. This doesn't happen with this file and no new sounds.

Well, the first question... Are you on PC or Mac?

Well, I tried it and they are alright.

If you're on PC, go to
http://nm-archives.electro-music.com/020_NordLead2/
and at
http://nm-archives.electro-music.com/020_NordLead2/023_Miscellaneous/NordGenerator_Editor/
you'll find the Editor NordGenerator, which loads Midi Files. Just drag&drop the file from the folder on the tool and it will ond all 40 files.
By using the curser arrows up you'll see the Patch number go from 40 to 1, which will be the first sound. Just hit the 'enter' key on your computer keyboard and the file will load, if the Midi is set right. You'll be able to hear all 40...

Which is quite a desception...
It sounds like, but the audio examples at the site are not the same, at least a lot of effects is used!

If you want I can send you the single files as *.syx to you.

More sounds are at

Nordisk Musik, you downloaded and opened the file from that site. Maybe I'm missing something, but the *.rar file asks for StuffIt, which converts it into *.sit, which I can't open. How do you did it Smile ?

I've played a little bit with some files...

I send the SysEx of the program and a midi file, because I think mp3 is as terrible as possible to listen to...
Set the Unison at 9 [Shift + 3 times Sys, program cursor to 9] to get the effect.
Midi 180 bpm.

yes I simply just draw the .MID file from the .RAR folder without getting any messages. Thanks for helping once again I'll look into this, I never really understood the unison option on this synth. I don't think any specific unison value is saved when writting a patch.

Could you do this too for the NordLead3 files on that site and send me the midi? I would be grateful!

Mostly I use the Unison set to 1, which means only a stereo sound with a slight delay, because that detuned sound isn't always nice Smile When I use Unison to be detuned I use 5, but mostly 9, which gives the effect the most.
Indeed, Unison is a global effect, to all the Slots and stays the same until changed. The NordLead3 has the ability to save the Unison in the Patch and therefor use different Unison in a Performance (Unison has it's own DSP, so the Voices per Slot stay the same)

.RAR files are compressed files like .ZIP. They use a Russian compression tool called WinRar, but I think recent versions of Winzi will uncompress .rar files. If not, you can get a short-trem version of Winrar from the winrar website.

As far as what's inside the .rar file, who knows.
