The Usual Suspects NKS
Comments

I have uploaded everything related to Nord Lead 1, 2 and 2x here:
Nord Lead 2x has already done as you can see in previous comments (unless if you can find the 2 missing performance banks that nobody can find)
Template and graphics already exist (check previous comments), but i have make new, extended ones.
I currently work on Nord Lead 1 (already done Factory and 2 Libraries), so you can focus on Nord 2.
I will publish everything, all together, a complete pack, when i finish, (i don't like this comment by comment posting 😋), but if you want, i can send you the template and resources (full nks1 + nks2) so you have more options to use what you prefer (or merge, expand etc. at your will). :-)
Also, the correct ROM is this one:

Here are the previews redux for Bank 8 with Diam's fixes.

Thank you!

ne1 want to check out these. They seem to be partially correct. The Nord Lead (1?) Factory Performance Bank seems to be the same as the Nord Lead 2X Performance Bank 1. I definitely have L0-L9 separated out as individual patches correctly, but that is about it for now. It would be nice to have all those prophet 5 sounds.

They all have the wrong "Nord Rack 2X" as product (instead of NodalRed2x) though i have send you the fixed ones (check our older PM).
Also, at least the one bank doesn't sound as Performance, and many of the names are the same with the Nord Lead 1 Factory bank (btw, i'm still working on a full Nord Lead 1 pack - 9 Libraries done, 3 more to go!).
Another thing is the all the Performance banks from NL 1 (.mid files) are not really working (Nodal Red can not even see them). The others are ok though (from NL2 and NL2x). So, i can't find from where are those 2 Performances.
But, maybe i missed something… i will do a deep look tomorrow! :-)

You are indicating something I sent won't load? If you refer to the manual, for the Nord Lead factory sound 1-40, to be able to pack these forty presets into only 10 presets, they use the four A-B sound slots, expecting you to switch. This limitation isn't necessary with software as you can have as many presets as you, so it is much better in my opinion to save them separately. That will be true too for the prophet sounds if I can find them. The Nord Rack 2X product is intentional, that is what I prefer to see and I have the same skin indicating NR2X. When I am done, I will upload them with the proper publisher and product. The two banks I was able to import to save out these nks presets were named n2lib4pf.mid and internal.mid.

Nope, i didn't say that. Everything is loading fine. Just not under NodalRed (but still works… it is a matter of graphics mostly).
What i'm saying is, at least for the Nord Lead 1 Factory performances, the names are very different from the Factory sounds 1-40.
And also that, all slots on NodalRed (A.B.C.D) have exactly the same sound.

That is not the listing I have for Performance Bank 2. My last upload has the first 79 sounds from Performance Bank 2 (after Synth Harp, they did not seem to patch the patch names) and only the 40 original Nord Lead sounds from Performance Bank 1. The listing I am using is on page 98 of the manual at the link below. I determined this manual is the one that matches the os everyone is using (earlier in this thread). You are correct if you are saying that the Nord Lead Factory Sounds names are not matching the simple numbers that you indicated in the list for Performance Bank 1. It didn't make sense to name those non-performance type sounds anything other than the original names for the Nord Lead Factory Sounds which are more descriptive. Those 40 sounds from the original Nord Lead are not layered performance type sounds, the way they were used on the NL2X (from what I can understand) is there were four sounds for each preset and you switch between them using the A,B,C,D buttons. It doesn't make sense to do that for the plugin. As far as the other sounds not being performance type sounds, you may be right. I do not have the original 2X bank. However, I did listing to some duplicate named sounds found in other program banks, and I thought they were the same, but obviously those were only program sounds. Maybe I will try to find duplicates in Performance Banks, I think they are there in the sound cards.

NodalRed2x - Nord Lead Complete NKS
A complete Nord Lead (first & second edition) pack. Presets only, Performances not included.
Includes Factory RAM and all 4 Sound Card ROMs, each one with 3 unique banks. Total banks: 13
Total presets: 1228. All with previews, fully tagged and based on my own custom template.
New, fully NKS2 compatible graphic resources.
Download here.
Note 1: All presets from first edition (Nord Lead 1) are identical with those from the second edition (Nord Lead 2), so there is no point of keeping both (.mid files, .syx files, or Nodal presets). I kept the older ones (Nord first edition) because they do have names instead of pointless numbers.However keep in mind that the Performances from first edition are not readable by Nodal (thus they won't work). You need to keep the ones from the second edition!
Note 2: Now i can start work with other banks too!
Unless some of you started it already…?4 -
NodalRed2x - Nord Lead Performances (Sound Cards 1-4) NKS
As a supplement to the previous post.
The 400 Performances (common in both Nord Lead 1 & 2) from the expansion cards of the first and second edition. Named as they originally appeared.
With .previews and fully tagged.
Download here.
Note: I still can't find the original Factory Performance (from versions 1-2, not 2x).
The one that i have (in both .mid and .syx formats) is not recognized.
I will not give up until i find it though! I am deeply emotionally attached with Nord Lead's first edition, the edition with the most magical sound and the best DAC converters ever (of that era at least). If anyone can help (with the actual file, not with "cloudy" links) will have my eternal gratitude!..and for a change from the boring "normality", here's an ancient photo from our old studio back in 1997 with the Nord Rack's first edition! 😘 ❤️

Thanks man. Love the pic. I just started learning the studio environment around 1997. A very special time for me too.
Will have a dig for those missing roms also to see what I can find. I did have a look previously, but now I have a bit more clarity on the setup of the banks will look again.

It is just one RAM (not ROM), the first Factory Performance. I have everything else (even some rare paid banks -that i can not publicly post-) It does not exists not even in the official Nord Lead downloads and i wonder why. I am searching since Christmas; no luck… i hope you will have better luck!
I will try to reach some old contacts in the hope that they can dump it straight from the synth.1 -
Nord Lead Performances Updates & Improvements
I did some extra work on those, not related to NKS but might be very useful to you.
I have rename all those meaningless numbers, to the real names, on all 400 Performances so you can see the real names, even if you do not use the NKS presets (for example, as a plugin in Cubase, without the use of KK). So now they appeared like this!:
To do so, just download the zip file at the bottom. It contains 4 .json files.
Just put them in the same folder as your Preferences .mid files.
