Using patches from an SRX expansion board

To see if an SRX card is installed, go to SYSTEM INFO by selecting EDIT [MENU], select "2.System", press F6(Information), then F2(SRX). It should show the name of your card, in your case, "SRX-09 World".

To access the SRX card patches from the keyboard, select the CARD bank.
To access the SRX card patches via another MIDI keyboard or device, refer to the .pdf your downloaded. The World Expansion is SRX-09, therefore use the MSB LSB values as indicated on the chart.

Thanks!
I've looked all morning....anyone have a link to a patch list for the World SRX card?

Thanks! Didn't know there were that many sounds on the World card....I'll have to check them out.

its a big world! :)

I'm definitely interested on that SRX-09-"World Collection"... Two questions please:

(1) If I understand well, expansion boards like SRX-09 are plugged to the same slot I've already plugged extra dimm memory for sampling, and I can't have both installed. Tell me I'm wrong on this please...
(2) Is there any website I could hear the new patches in SRX-09? The demo in official website only lets you hear a few patches and the ones I am particularly interested (such as mandolin, bouzouki, or dream harp) are not available for audition there. As the price of the expansion board is not negligible, I would like to hear what I get.

No, the DIMM and SRX have separate slots. So you can have both installed, of course.

I have returned to the "world" of synths and production after a long hiatus. My original foray into workstation projects was with an Ensoniq SQ-80 purchased when they were among the first available workstations.

My struggles are numerous as I have volumes of sequenced original compositions on a device that uses a currently irrelevant MIDI interface. Any direction or guidance on mitigating that obstacle would be helpful.

While I recognize the Juno-G to be a pretty comprehensive workstation, the manuals leave a lot to be desired.

As an example, and to the point of this post, I recently purchased an SRX-03 Expansion Board. Now as I understand the language the word expansion means to "build on that which currently exists." You can't imagine my surprise when I opened the back of the unit and discovered that it is in fact a "swap" board, not an expansion at all, as I had to REMOVE the SRX-98 that was already installed . So I have to eliminate sounds I currently have in order to "expand" the unit? That's a load of crap and that doesn't qualify as an "expansion!"

I guess I'll have to spend another 5 or 6 hours figuring out how to and then moving sounds into either the computer library program or user memory so that the product of Roland's "new math" results in an actual augmentation (expansion) of available patches. ~musiqman
