Nord User Forum

hi,
i have a nord electro 2, 73 key, which i need to reset.
however my mac os version is 10.9.5 which makes it not compatible with the nord sound manager software.

is there any other way i could reset the keyboard to factory settings, without using the software.?
( i need to do this because earlier i happened to deleted two of the original factory sounds, which i now need....)

Hi,
Indeed "Nord Electro Tool" requires osX version 10.6 or older.
The factory bank is here.
If you unzip the file "Nord Electro 2 Factory Program Bank v3.0 revA_0.zip" you'll find "Factory Programs v3.00.mid" inside of it.
The extension suggests that it's a midi file.
Question to experts (I'm not) toward a solution : does it contain some standard sysex midi instructions that could be sent to the Electro using a standard sequencer software ?
Frantz.

That sysx thing above seems very improbable, and maybe not a good idea.
Maybe it's easier to get a 32 bits Windows 7 , that is compatible with Nord Electro Tool.

thanks for answer.
i got the factory bank, including the mid file. the problem is to get it in the electro..

sysex midi instruction i know nothing about unfortunately....

yes, but then i need to buy a need computer
