Here is a good set I purchased a while back.

THE ROMANIAN BANK – 99 presets for Nord Lead 2X 2014
http://www.albaecstasy.ro/nord-lead-2x/

I have this one too which is excellent for layering: ( Note I only got 40 patches out of this set even though it's advertised for 99 ).

Hi guys, I found this thread during some SEO researching. Nice to meet you!

@Ricoche: Hi. I saw your post about my link (thank you posting in this Nord community) and I just wanted to be sure that you got all my 99 presets (your reference that you got only 40 presets was not clear for me if it was about my pack or the one from the link under mine). I think if it was so you'd have written to me, but just wanted to check that everything is ok (no complains until now about my pack, but still, errors can happens).

Thank you,
Alba Ecstasy

PS: as soon as possible I'll release a set of free presets for NL2X :)

I am new hear, so I am sorry to be so dumb. I need help, guidance, with uploading patches to my Nord Lead 2. I have the patches, they open up automatically in Logic when I put them on the computer. I connected my NL2 to the computer via Midi to USB adapter. At that point, I cannot figure out how to get them from the computer onto my keyboard. I have the NL2 manual and have been following it, but to no avail. Do I need Midi to Midi cord? Is there a video or instructions out there that can walk me through this process. I am not tech savy, but I can get around a computer I suppose. Please help. Thank you.

Thank you guys, I'm starting to really dig my new 2X and after auditioning the 1400 factory programs and performances, I was looking for more. :idea:
OMG, it looks like I'll have my hands (and ears) full, with about 3000 new patches...and these are just the free ones! :shock: :o :shock:

Be careful what you ask... :lol: :lol: :lol:

btw, how do I convert .ngf to .syx file formats? Can I just change the file extension, is .ngf just a string of characters in the same format as .syx?

UPDATED:
yes, .ngf is exactly the same thing as .syx, I just took the many Lead2X Patches provided in .ngf format, changed the format extension and all the programs work flawlessly.

Hi profy, sorry for the delay in answering, hope you read this

Page 78 of the Lead2X manual:
To receive a Bulk Dump, proceed as follows:
1. Connect a cable from MIDI Out on the transmitting device to MIDI IN on the Nord Lead 2X.
2. If you are about to receive a complete Bank, you need to scroll to a number in the Bank (Program or
Performance Bank) you want to replace with the received Bank.
3. Initiate the transmission on the transmitting device.
If the dump contained a complete Bank, it will take the place of the selected Bank in the Nord Lead 2X.
If the dump contained one Program/Performance only, this will be put in the “edit buffer” of the active
Slot, instead of the Program/Performance you were playing. However, it is not saved permanently. To
save it, use Store as described on page 23 and page 35. Note that any Percussion Kits in a Performance,
will only be included as “references” when you dump the Performance. If you want to dump Percussion
Kits including all parameters, you have to be in Program mode!
so basically, after connecting your Lead 2X to your PC with a proper software (i use MIDI-OX) and setting the MIDI channels appropriately, you just have to "Send sysex" or the corresponding command on your software.
The results will depend if you're in Program or Performance mode, and if you're sending a Program, Percussion Kit, Performance or an entire Bank.

If you send a single program (or perc kit or performance) it will not be instantly stored: you will be able to audition it, modify it and if you like it, save it with the normal procedure.
But if you send an entire Bank, it will immediately overwrite all the 99 programs in the current bank, so be careful to save your patches before!

Also, note that only the first 4 banks of programs and the first bank of performances are overwritable (Program Banks 0-1-2-3, all the Percussion Kits and Performance Bank 0): all the others are fixed, you cannot save anything on those positions.
Maybe your problem was that you were trying to save something in an unwritable position?

Hope this helps, cheers!
