Nord Lead 1 Subject description: Nord lead 1 original patches |
|
|
Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum, but i would like to ask you guys two questions.
I've recently bought a used Nord lead 1, and i realised as i used it, that almost none of the original sounds were stored in the memory banks, or at least from what i recall them from using one a couple of years ago.
So the first question is if there is any way i can load the original banks and patches into my keyboard?
I've also downloaded a user manual for the keyboard, but the only one i could find was the one from 1996 for a software version 2.x, is this the correct one, or is it for more recent models?
Thanks |

The Cards can be changed at all 297 locations.

NL1 and NL2 shared the same Patches. Quote: | I've also downloaded a user manual for the keyboard, but the only one i could find was the one from 1996 for a software version 2.x, is this the correct one, or is it for more recent models? | I think that's to most recent version

Hey Wout,
First of all let me thank you for your brief answer. I've been checking the forum out, and you do quite a of a hell job helping out people.
I confess i might have a lot of questions, since i'm kinda of a rookie with the nord lead.
So i checked the link you gave me and downloaded the files.
I've also understood by other forum discussion topics that exists an application to upload files do the keyboard, but it is only for a windows operating system. My question is if a can get a similar one to an os x system?
thanks,
sebtex |

I forgot this in the last post
http://www.snoize.com/SysExLibrarian/ seems to work at OS X quite well. I'm not a computer man and doesn't do a lot of work on a Mac, so I never tried it.

Hey wout,
I've got the program and all the sysex files upload in it. Right now i should just press the play button on it and it would upload the sound, mas nothing happens.
I use a tascam us-428, wich i use for recording, and midi controlling. I plug the midi cable on the output and on my nord lead on the input.
Understanding that you don't work with this program, but can you tell me if the basic connection is done properly?
And now for a nord lead plain question, how do i sync the arpeggiator with the time of my track on logic 8?
Hope you can me help out.
Cheers,
Sebtex |

Quote: | I use a tascam us-428, wich i use for recording, and midi controlling. I plug the midi cable on the output and on my nord lead on the input. | Is the US-428 a Midi Interface? I don't think this isn't going to solve your problem. Quote: | Understanding that you don't work with this program, but can you tell me if the basic connection is done properly? | That's why Clavia made a work around
On the synth press [Pref Mode] and scroll to performance L0. The complete 'L' bank contains the 40 original factory presets. As you see, only Slot A is active. When playing you'll hear Program 01
Press the red button to Save > press [Pref Mode] again to return to normal mode > scroll to the first location > press [Save] again and... voila.
Return to [Pref Mode], activate Slot B and do the same routine again, only scroll in Program Mode to location 2
Repeat this 38 times... Quote: | And now for a nord lead plain question, how do i sync the arpeggiator with the time of my track on logic 8? | This is done using the Shift functions, in this case see [Manual - page 61] Beware of the tempo! This can be tricky, but also much fun.
Do you have the manual? I send you one in a PM. And a list about the tempo of LFO1+2.

Hello,
I have a NL1 v1.3. I haven't expansion board, only internal patches. I want to reset internal patches. I have a file, Internal.mid from Clavia website and they told me that i can send it by Midiox software.I don't know how to use it. I have tried with my midi cable conected to PC, but it doesn't work out.
I have read topics about SysEx, but my file is Midi.
I have downloaded from this web:
http://www.clavia.se/downloads/sounds/nordlead.htm
Nord Lead internal sound library.
I have Lead Internal Sound.
HELP please.
Thanks
Juan. |

Have you read the above mentioned work-around already? Quote: | I don't know how to use it.

Did you read: Clavia site wrote: | To be able to load the the complete banks you will need the following:
A sequencer to load the file
A Nord Lead or a Nord Rack expanded to 12 voices
A 64 kB battery backed SRAM PCMCIA card
ZIP-utility
Set the Nord's global MIDI channel to 16.
Please note: New download features in Software 2.0
Macintosh and Windows unzipping instructions. | So you'll be in need of the expansion...Are you on Mac or Windows?I'll try

Ok. Sorry, I read the top and the requirements for loading patches after writing this post . So is no way there to restore the sounds of my internal NL1?. I pressure once STORE button by mistake and overwrited a patch that it had, I don't know how to load back the original sound.
Thank you.

Go into Performance mode > the last bank named 'L*' and there are all 40 programs stored! L0-Slot A is the first program, L0-Slot B the second and-so-on... Find the program you are missing, press Store in the Performance mode only once, go into Program mode (the LCD is still blinking); find the memory location (when playing you'll hear the 'wrong' program) and press Store again. Voila!
