NL2X bank n. 9

Hello to everyone,
Some days ago I noticed that the patches on the bank n. 9 of my NL2X just have nothing to do with the patch list on the manual (the patch name is "arpeggio" and the actual patch is a lead or a bass, and so on).
I supposed that the previous owner made some custom patch on that bank, but that bank should (together with banks 4-8) be ROM only.
Is there anyone able to solve the riddle?

Maybe it is possible to overwrite that bank by sending a SysEx... ?
Thank you for your help!

Yes, there is an answer.
The list is from another Bank and is switched with that.
I can't remember wich one, but after my holidays I will search for it...

It is easy, BTW: search for a Bank which starts with that bass sound and make a control if there is an Arpeggio on that location.
Check the second location too and maybe as a dubbele bubble check the last one.
Oh, don't expect for Clavia to change it. The error is there more than a decade now and you are the third user who noticed

Awesome, thank you for the answer!
No other people's patches in my Nord

I don't like to walk with someone else's shoes

Update!
No way. The bank list is correct from bank 0 to 8. The only wrong list is the last one.

Yes way!
To the NordlLead 1 (the original!!) Clavia delivered 1 Bank factory presets and 12 Banks presented on PCMCIA cards.
To the NordLead2X they designed a new Bank, which is presented on the synth as Bank0. The Old Bank became Bank2.
Leaves 8 banks free to upload into the synth, where 6 of them became ROM. So 4 Banks should drop out.
And now the trouble... Your Bank 9 is mixed up with its list with a Bank which you don't have in your synth.
It is on the internet, though.
Tomorrow I am on holidays for a week and after that I have two weeks to search things out... Only you can't change the sounds in the synt, only the list in the Manual.
But to be honest... Does it have any effects on how to play the synth?

Post Scriptum,
The first locations on Bank 8 and 9 are swithced too, I believe...

Thank you Wout!
ahaha, no, actually it has no effect on how to play

I just supposed there was a mysterious way to overwrite the ROM patches!
Thank you again, I just love my little red beast! (I made a whole 48 minutes ambient/down-tempo album with it).

Are you struggling doing the cover art yourself or finding someone?
