Lead Rack 12 voice expansion identification

Postby njscott18 » 02 Jun 2018, 00:06

Hi, new to the group on account of trying to sell a first generation Nord Lead Rack and being asked questions via ebay that I'm regrettably ill equipped to answer. I'm selling the unit for a pro musician who is no more technologically minded than I and has owned the unit from new. Please forgive the very amateur fumbling of a question.

Ive been asked if the unit has the 12 voice expansion pack. How would I know? Is there a way of identifying this (by which I mean is there a way a drummer who can only just switch the thing on can figure this out). Sorry for being unutterably useless and thanks in anticipation of any help anyone can offer.

Plug a keyboard in it via midi, play notes until you hear the first one disappearing....If it happens when you play the 13th note, yes, you have the 12 notes expansion pack....
Or open it and look for any extra ROM/IC with "Expansion pack" something written on it?
Or when you switch it on, is there some info coming after the OS version? Like OS 2.2, Expansion pack loaded"... I have that on my XV5080, just in turning it on, it lists the expansion cards I have in it...
Sorry for not being that much helpful, I don't have any Lrad Rack....

I know the thread is old but for reference: I think the PCMCIA slot was part of the voice expander, so if it looks like there's nothing inside the PCMCIA slot you certainly don't have the expansion. There might even be something covering the slot so there's not a gaping hole there.
