Nord lead 2 not loading sounds from Sys ex

Post by weblogik »

hi first post!

I recently saw the page with all the sound libraries http://www.clavia.se/downloads/sounds/nordlead2.htm and thought it would be fun to load them in my nl2

However i cant get it to work, i used Logic Studio 8, that didnt work, so i downloaded SysEx Librarian that Looks like its working however it transmits (port and channel are correct and tested) when i press play, it shows it going through the files, however when i go to store in my nordlead there is nothing there :(

The card is not locked or write protected . I even tried ot do it over the user programmable 1-40 channels, nada. The global channel is 16.

What am i doing wrong? I should mention i have os 1.02 (should i upgrade to 1.06? found a chip on ebay for $30)

Help my fellow nordlites!!!

:welcome: weblogik

A bulk upload will be placed into the active bank of the PCMCIA card, not the intern memory 1-40.
After uploading they are in the choosen card location, overwriting all Programs there...
If you want to upload single Programs instead of and you are on a Windows machine, maybe this tool can help you out http://nm-archives.electro-music.com/02 ... erator.htm

ugh not sure it all seems to be working but the new sounds dont load into my nord!!
The nord is 100 % set on correct midi channel 16, plays from and to sequencer perfectly so midi connection is right

i m putting my nord on program 1.01 from my card
pm SusEx Librarian im loading a Sys Ex file from clavia site
i press PLay on Sys Ex Librarian
it shows its dumping the data and midi card shows activity
However the sound on the bank doesnt change. I press STORE and STORE again and nothing, the same sound that was there before is still there .

what am i doing wrong!?!?!

Do you have any data on the PCMCIA card?
Can you save any Program from the internal memory (1-99) into the memory location 1.01?
Select location using the curser; play the Program to check it; press Store; navigate to 1.01 and press store again. Is the original sound on the card or not?
Are you on a Windows machine?

You are working with the files from Clavia. Maybe these are scrambled during download. Try one from here http://nm-archives.electro-music.com/02 ... 1_Patches/ (these are all singele Programs, no Banks or here http://nm-archives.electro-music.com/02 ... mIndex.htm
The librairian should handle these and you will see the leds change on the panel.
It's just plain SysEx and no Midi.
