Nord lead2 factory reset

Post by Kimjh0011277 »

Hello, I bought a used Nodrid 2, so I'm going to reset the factory, but I don't know how to do it. There's no USB plug-in place and there's a pcmcia slot, so I'm trying to reset the factory by purchasing pcmcia and cf cards, but I can't do anything because I don't know how to do it. If anyone knows how to reset the factory, please help me.

Thank you for your answer. Even if you look at the manual, I don't know if the translator is not good at translating, I don't understand, or how to reset the factory reset I downloaded the file, but I don't know how to transfer it to NL2. Can you explain it in detail?

In the manual it says that Factory Programs are in ROM so they are not modified (no Factory Restore really needed), only the first 40 in RAM can be overwritten, but they are duplicated in ROM Performances L0 to L9, as listed below. To extract one of these sounds from its Performance, and store it as a Program, follow the instructions on page 35.

For transferring sysex instead you need a tool like MidiOX on Windows or Sysex Librarian on Mac (step by step instructions depend on tool, but they are quite easy to use)

I think Google Translator translated strangely. I misunderstood because the manual was translated manuallI think Google Translator translated strangely. I misunderstood the manual by translating it manually. As you said, the problem was solved. Thank you!
