Bulk Dump

To dump one or more Programs or Performances via MIDI as System Exclusive data, for reprogramming

of another Nord Lead or for recording the data into another MIDI device, proceed as follows:

1. Connect a cable from MIDI Out on the Nord Lead to MIDI In on the other device.

2. Set up the receiving device so that it accepts System Exclusive data.

3. To Dump Performances, enter “Performance Mode” (see page 33). To Dump Programs or Percussion Kits, make

sure you are not in Performance mode.

4. If you want to transmit one Program/Performance only, select it.

5. If needed, set the other device to its “recording mode”.

6. Hold down the Shift button and press “Dump One” (Oct Shift +) to transmit the current Program/Perform-

ance only or “Dump All” (Oct Shift –) to transmit all Programs/Performances.

To receive a Bulk Dump, proceed as follows:

1. Connect a cable from MIDI Out on the transmitting device to MIDI In on the Nord Lead.

2. If you are about to receive a complete Bank, you need to scroll to a program number in the Bank (single Sound

Bank or Performance Bank) you want to replace with the received Bank.

3. Initiate the transmission on the transmitting device.

If the dump contained a complete Bank, it will take the place of the selected Bank in the Nord Lead. If

the dump contained one Program/Performance only, this will be put in the “edit buffer” of the active slot,

instead of the Program/Performance you were playing. However, it is not saved permanently. To save it,

use Store as described on page 23 and page 35.

Remember that any Percussion Kits in a Performance, will only be included as “references” when you

dump the Performance. If you want to dump Percussion Kits including all parameters, you have to be in

Program mode!
