Nord User Forum

Hey all, I can't seem to get patches into my Rack 2. I've read the patch bank section of the manual, repeatedly. I've googled, I've searched these forums. Nothing. Two different midi interfaces that can send midi note data to the Nord just fine.

Here's what I'm doing. Downloaded the patches from Clavia. Am surprised they're in .mid format (not .sys), but it sounds like most around here aren't having an issue with that. I'm on a Mac so I'm loading the .mid files into SysEx Librarian and Logic (although for every other synth I've sent SysEx to, SysEx Librarian has been perfect). I make the midi connection into the Nord (again, I've tried 2 different interfaces), make sure the port settings are correct, and hit play. Nothing happens on the Nord. From what I understand, the patches should be increasing as it's receiving them? The Nord doesn't do anything. I've tried many times. I'm at a loss.

It's especially confusing to me because I can send midi note data without issue.

Hi Chris, welcomed to NUF

There is a section in the manual at Page 73 on how to bulk dump data, did you check it and setup the rack properly?

Hi, thank you

Yes, I've read that section many times. Nothing happens :/
