Hello,
I know that the subject has been posted several times on this forum, that's why I took some time to read all the corresponding threads and double checking my configuration before posting a new thread.
I'm having some problems with the Nord Lead 4 and Logic Pro X. The Nord Lead doesn't seem to respond to the bank messages and program changes and I really don't know why.
Here's what I've done so far.

On The NL4 side :

Midi menu
G -> Off
a -> 1
b -> 2
c -> 3
d -> 4
t -> 10 ( Nord Drum 2 is plugged to the NL4 midi out)
i -> USB
2 -> off
3 -> S&R
4 -> r (also tried S&R)
5 -> S&R

The Nord Lead is not in Performance mode.

On the Logic Pro X side:

- Created a new multi-instrument with four inputs in the environment window. One for each slot. Midi port set to "Nord Lead 4 midi input"
- Created four tracks in the arrangement window, each one assigned to an NL4 slot. (Ch 1 ; 2 ; 3 ; 4)

Each slot can be played separately (My Nord Stage 2 acts as a master keyboard) No problem.

But I can't change the programs of each slot of the NL4 from Logic. Nothing happens.

I've decided to check with Midi Monitor what message was sent to the Nord Lead by Logic, and it seems to be correct. Here's an example for Channel 2 (Slot B)

18:03:49.916 To MIDI Input Control 2 0 0
18:03:49.916 To MIDI Input Control 2 32 1
18:03:49.916 To MIDI Input Program 2 17

Additional information:
I have the same kind of configuration for my Prophet 12 and this one responds really well to program changes and bank messages sent by Logic Pro X but the P12 doesn't have 4 slots on different channels, only one global channel.

The nord Lead 4 responds to program changes sent on a global channel (if activated) in performance mode but not on individual slots.

Can somebody help me to solve this problem please ?

Thank you very much.

Ah ah, I've noticed my NL4 was still using the 1.20 firmware.
So the previous issue is now solved with 1.24
My bad. Sorry...
