Bome Send SX?? Help?

Luko79

Anyone here use Bome Send SX, to dump sysex to a machine?

Sorry but I am a bit new to machines that actually hold and store memory!

I have SX setup so that when I press trigger on the Nord it registers the numbers within the ‘In’ box, and then when I load the sysex I wanna dump into the out box and press send it takes a few minutes then says its complete, I presss store on the nord, but nothing happens – all the soundbanks are the same…

I must be missing something one vital little thing… its not covered in the manual in great detail, and have surfed the forums, now I just need someone who has actually done it themselves….

So:

-do I need to press store so it flashes, before sending from Send Sx? Then press store again once finished (as I have tried this and it didn’t seem t work)

It has to be something simple like this as I have the nord communicating with Bome as it is supposed…I believe, so any ideas of where I am going wrong?

cheers
Cool

oK TO clarify further I am using ableton live 5

I just asked a friend and he seems to think I dont need Bome SX, just drop the clavia patches (from their site in .mid format) and hit play or record in ableton to send them to the nord

is there a sysex dump setting in the global controls i may be missing?

cheers

Which NordLead are you using?

To send a single program to the computer, just press [Shift+OctShiftUp]
To dump a complete bank, just press [Shift+OctShiftDown]

On the NordLead1 and NordLead2 complete banks are only dumped to the synth using the PCMIA cards. I never used the NordLead2X, so check the Manual.

To get a single file in the Nord, just dump that single one (mostly in SySex format), it will be uploaded into the FlashMemory. You have to save it to a memory location.

oh right - well thats my problem - I have a nord lead 2 and the pcmcia card is in the mail

in the manual it mentions only being able to write over the first 40 slots of the original 100

i cant recall it saying I couldnt dump to the nord's memory, but I will take your word for it - and i guess just wait for the card to arrive and then refer back to your instructions

cheers for the quick reply! Cool
