M-256F Memory Cartridge: Enhance Your Vintage Roland Experience
Upgrade your vintage Roland instruments with the M-256F Memory Cartridge - a battery-free memory solution that’s compatible with a wide range of Roland devices. This cartridge is a perfect fit for enthusiasts and professionals looking to maintain, replace, or expand their memory storage for cherished equipment.
Compatibility
The M-256F is designed to work seamlessly with numerous Roland devices, including Alpha Juno 2, GR-700, GR-77B, MKS-10, MKS-20, MKS-30, MKS-70, MKS-80, TR-707, TR-727, TR-909, JX-8P, and JX-10. It offers compatibility with Roland’s M-64C cartridge while providing four times the memory capacity, organized into four separate 64Kbit banks. Additionally, these new cartridges may be compatible with Roland M-16C and M-32C cartridges, adding even more flexibility to your setup.
Note: some early revisions of the JX-8P seem to refuse to work with this newer memory cartridge technology.
Innovative Battery-Free Design
A major advantage of the M-256F is its battery-free RAM design, ensuring worry-free operation for a lifetime. Built with Cypress / Infineon Technologies’ RAM ICs, this cartridge securely stores your data for over 150 years without requiring a backup battery. Say goodbye to periodic battery replacements and enjoy uninterrupted memory storage.
Quality Construction
Each M-256F cartridge is carefully crafted by hand in Taiwan, using brand-new components, a modern PCB, and a durable, professionally 3D-printed casing with waterproof label. This cartridge is made to last, offering a reliable memory solution for your vintage Roland setup.
Effortless Memory Bank Selection
The M-256F functions like having four Roland M-64C cartridges in one, with four independent memory banks accessible via dual-switch configuration. Switch between banks with ease and on-the-fly, or possibly store different devices' data on each of the memory banks.
Additional Options and Compatibility
For users prefering a single memory bank, a streamlined battery-free version (M-64F) is also available.
