RASP is a poet and doesn't even know it. Thou art correct, programming the NL2 will be fun, a new start. I must admit to being a lazy bastard though and wish to hear some of what its got IMMEDIATELY. So, I Googled my ass off to find about 6 bizillion free banks (one by John Lehmkuhl) of presets and performances on the Clavia website. Really weird how they have it tucked away, you can't navigate there from the HOME page, but if you Google on "Nord Lead 2 Sound Cards" you find the following link:

Quote:
"To be able to load the the complete banks you will need the following:
A sequencer to load the file to
A 64 kB battery backed S-RAM PCMCIA card
ZIP-utility
Set the Nord's global MIDI channel to 16
Warning! Using old PCMCIA cards
Macintosh and Windows unzipping instructions.
Clavia does no longer offer PCMCIA cards but you can still get the same cards that we used to distribute from Memorix Elektronik.

Some of the sounds seem like crappola but there are a few that look like they might have a gem or two in them. I'll probably load the Lehmkuhl bank and mess with it for a few days and then erase the whole board and start over. I'm not taking any classes this summer so I'll need something to keep me out of trouble...
Plaid Emu, that is funny as hell that you were cracking up in the background of your girlfriend's important call, absolutely classic. I hope you don't wind up on the couch.
