Will it work in a Yamaha DX 27s? If not, anyone wanna buy one? haha 😀
So cool, but it also means my Atari would become obsolete after I transfer those sounds to this thing.
Buying another one for the D50 is still more costly than the 2nd hand price for the Atari, so I think I will keep my Atari. Makes me feel nostalgic too.
Great these guys are making this though. DX-7’s seem to become more popular again.
I could really use something like this for the Ensoniq SD-1!
+1!
There are currently 3rd-party carts for the ESQ-1/SQ-80 but nothing yet for VFX/SD-1. I would most definitely be interested (but a floppy emulator would also be pretty cool)
+1
+1 (for my friend Dan) who will also want one!!!
Excellent for expanding my ‘old’ dx-7. Thanks a lot for this information.
Cool stuff! Put Roland JV1080 in the wishlist please
I’ve bought one on Christmas and been using it with my DX7. New life into it, now I use it more than ever, also the presets and categories included are great!
Cool, especially thoughtful that they also support 3rd party extensions on those synths!
Never heard of this before, so you scored a great added value there synthopia! Thanks.
please do this for the JD800
