Old sound card from Nord 1

Post by hrtavel »

I recently came across the sound card from the Nord Lead I owned in the 90s. Sadly, the keyboard itself is long gone. But I would love to be able to use these sounds somehow, since my band at the time created loads of custom patches. I can't really afford a Nord kb; is there a way I can dl these sounds and use then in say, Logic Pro X? Would I need a Nord Lead 1 to hear them? or is the sound card compatible with something else? Sorry if this is a dumb question! TIA

The data on the card is specific to the NL1,it would have been formatted on the NL1 itself so it can be used only with that model.

PCMCIA cards are used by allsorts of devices for storing files,and you could maybe read the Files on it,on a computer,but the Sounds for the NL on that card can only be replicated by that Keyboard/Rack model.

I own a Nord Lead, and I’d be happy to at least copy the patches off the card for you and email them to you, so you have them in a format you can store on your computer (and there might be a Nord Lead softsynth you can plug them into?)

PM me. :)
