Hi there, recently I bought a Nord Rack 2 - and I’m really enthousiastic about it!
Now I want to select/ program sounds from my master keyboard. But I can’t find the MSB/ LSB numbers to select a bank (internal bank or one of of the 3 banks on the card) anywhere ...
Can anyone help me out (which numbers belong to which bank? MSB/ LSB wise ...)

Thanks!!
Kind regards, Michael

Use a MIDI monitor tool (there are many available for Mac, Windows, Android, IOS) and just press the bank button on the Rack 2 to see what MIDI commands are generated.

This should show you exactly what is needed to control those parameters.

Thanks will try this out ... If anyone just has ‘the numbers’ still very welcome.
If the MIDI monitor works I’ll post them here ... : )

Hi there I found ‘the numbers’ elsewhere on this forum. : )
The bank select numbers are:
MSB: 85
LSB: 0/ 1/ 2/ 3 (internal/ card banks)

My problem isn’t solved yet, the MSB/ LSB messages I send from my Yamaha Motif won’t make the Rack response, it only plays the program that is selected on the rack itself. Any advise/ help would be welcome!

As previously suggested, if still not working then it is better to verify the actual MSB/LSB sent by the NL2R using a MIDI Monitor app (like MidiOX on Windows or MidiMonitor on Mac)

Did you try without MSB? just use LSB number to select the bank that PC number for the sound
