First of all you'll need the Programs, which are availlable in SysEx format at http://nm-archives.electro-music.com/020_NordLead2/021_Patches/
Use a program on your computer which is able to send SysEx, like Cubase, or MidiOX, or SendSysEx, or even NordGen (the later is able to show the parameters)

Hi Wout,

I was reading my Nord Lead 2 manual the other day (I know, it's not the 2X that the OP mentioned). It mentioned that the original factory patches are replicated in the performances. It specifically mentioned that you could use these performances to regain the factory patches if you'd modified them.

The OP might want to check a 2X manual to see if they exist there as well.

Just a thought in case the 2X and 2 are similar?

Cheers,

Maurice

I don't think so, although I can be wrong not owning a NLxX myself.
I believe the NL2X has 2 x 99 Programs RAM or 4 x 99? The rest is ROM and can't be changed.

My I suggest the OP makes a Dump All of the Programs he wants to delete from his synth? Maybe somebody else wants to hear those Smile

If he doesn't know how to do this, please contact here!

Anyway, the NL2 has only 40 Programs RAM and these can easily stored into a Performance bank. 4 x 99 takes 10 banks???, which means a complete memory bank.
I will consult the Manual Smile

Okay...

[Manual Page 97] shows a list of the Performance banks and Bank 1 (ROM) is a copy of the NL2X Performance, in which the 40 factory presets of the Program bank are saved, but these are only the first 40 of Program Bank 1: 1.1 - 1.40 [Manual Page 94]

The rst is at... ???
Well, in the Archive above given, I think Smile

But still...
Please, dump those Programs here. It would be a simple contribution to theis community Very Happy

If the seller wanted to protect his work, he surely would delete these files himself.
