Simple question JV80 cards

16 Oct 2010, 18:36

Search engine ont he site doesn;t seem to be working its returning nothing and I couldn't find a clear answer on this.

Can you fit the old SR-JV80 cards into the srx slots in a fantom XR?

I am wanting the Vintage Synths JV card and want to know before I purchase.

Regards
Scott

No.

For your XR you will need the SRX-07 Ultimate Keys card which does include everything that is on the R-JV80-04 "Vintage Synth", SR-JV80-08 "Keyboards of the '60s & '70s" and the SR-JV80-10 "Bass & Drums" and more.

Thanks for that, bummer though, I'll have to save up a bit before I can afford an SRX card.

Even the price for buying a new SRX card is a bummer. When they first came out they were like £149. Roland bumped them up another £100 to £249.

That seriously pisses me off no end...

Hi Arjan, silly question but is this also the case for the Fantom X series too? I'm about to buy a second hand X7 and already have a JV1000 with the Vintage Synth JV80 card installed. Would make life much easier if this were transferrable though not the end of the world if not....

@ theshinenz...

for the going price (on eBay) of the vintage card you can add maybe $50 or so to it and get the SRX card that includes the keyboards of 60s and 70s and the vintage synth sample ROMs...

i said all that to say that if you can afford the vintage synth card... you can just about get that SRX card that you need....

Yes, the Fantom X6/X7/X8 will only take SRX cards, just like the Fantom XR. You too will need to get the SRX-07 Ultimate Keys card.
