I'm trying to send programs to and from the Nord Drum 2 without using Nord's own editor program, but unfortunately the message formats aren't in the manual.
Does anyone know whether the sysex message formats for the program request and program dump are available anywhere?

Re: Nord Drum 2 sysex implementation
Hi @saxwell! Not sure if still relevant for you but stumbled across this post and thought I'd chime in nonetheless.
Were you looking to send the bank files containing multiple programs? Or just individual programs? Looking at the bank files they are in a proprietary format not suitable for sysex transfers but you could certainly dump the programs from the ND2 to a pc/mac/ios and then send back using a sysex tool like Midi-OX (Windows), Sysex Librarian (Mac), or Sysex Base (iOS). This way the individual program files are standard sysex files of a fixed length (110 bytes for the ND1, not sure about the ND2).
Transfer setup appears to be manual only (no remote midi dump request).
Cheers!
