Hi!
I would use my NL2X more if I could jump directly to the right patch (performance) with a mouseclick on my Mac.
Now I have to toggle through a huge amount before I find the 1.D4 I want.
And have the name "Expressive Lead" on the screen of my Mac?
Then I could also hide it under my desk and get room for even more equipment since I have it connected to a good keybed already. Fatar TP 40 - yes I'm a piano guy.
Some kind of patch organizer for Mac ... any ideas, anyone?

Easy selection of patch from my Mac?
NE3HP, NP88, NS2, DPP1, NL2X, NL2X, NLA1, NL4, NE5D, NW2 (Collect Them All?), some classic Rolands, Arturias, a Waldorf, a Kurz, a WONOK3, a pile of guitars, a P-bass, loopers, amps and computers ...
I'm a gearslut!

Re: Easy selection of patch from my Mac?
Hi Marlowes,
I remember there was one tool that could do what you want, but it ain't free: http://rekonaudio.com/index.php?page=sh ... &Itemid=29
See also the discussion here: http://www.electro-music.com/forum/topic-24339.html
Other Free Editors for the Lead such as this one http://ctrlr.org/page.php?p=ddb (scroll down, PC and MAC) or this one http://nm-archives.electro-music.com/02 ... or_Editor/ (PC only) only work via Midi CC, so at least the patch names won't be shown (But I am pretty sure if you enter your program structure you can do what you're after (probably easiest in CTRLR, first link) using MIDI Prog/Bank messages.

Re: Easy selection of patch from my Mac?
Seems to me that you'd only need some utility on your Mac to send 'bank change' and 'program change' messages, one that ideally shows a configurable name or even better, is able to read the names from a SysEx dump sent from the Lead (so its data is easy to synchronize with the Lead).
Would this cover what you'd need?
Edit: I had the Rekon Audio editor for the Lead 2X. It looked pretty cool but it didn't work for me in Ableton Live (apparently due to a bug in Ableton, which is possible I suppose). They had a newer version that solved this issue, but I would need to pay again to upgrade from 1.x to 2.x. I newer bothered to fork out more cash :-p
