Please understand even if the sentence is strange by using the translator. I inherited nord lead2 from my family, but the instrument is not my taste, so I'm going to sell nord lead2 and buy another instrument, but I have to factory reset to sell it first, but I don't know how to do it. What should I do?

I'll correct it. How do I put it in the factory sound instrument? I downloaded the factory sound from the official Nord site, but I don't know how to put it in the instrument.

"I inherited a nord lead2 from my family, but it's not the type of instrument I want to sell it used. Before selling it, I need to initialize the instrument. However, I don't see any USB ports on the instrument. How do I initialize the instrument? Do I need to initialize it internally? Or do I have to connect it to the computer and initialize it? If anyone knows, please let me know. I want factory reset!!!!"

The procedure to reload Factory Programs is described on the manual (page 108) and under the factory restore files here https://www.nordkeyboards.com/legacy-pr ... llToTabs=1 you find instrucyions on how to load them (but you need a MIDI interface) to the NL2

The Nord Lead 2 Factory Sounds are provided as MIDI SysEx dumps stored in both raw SysEx format (.syx) and Standard MIDI file format (SMF or .mid).

The Raw SysEx files can be transmitted to the instrument using a MIDI Dump Utility or librarian software such as the SysEx Librarian by Snoize on the Mac platform or MIDI-OX for Windows users. Most commercial sequencer/DAW software will accept and play the SMF format.


Anyway I think you can it sell it also 'as is" and let the new owner do the factory reset, in case.
