Re: RA-100 RAM card - will it work in VZ?

2012-04-04 by Graham

Just checked the VZ10M manual - it states that you can store 64 patches and 64 operation memories - so in essence 128 actual storage allotments. Ahh - found it - on page 9 it mentions when you are in NORMAL mode you can save 128 patches to the RAM card.

So yes, it has 2 banks of 64 patches.

Cheers, Graham

I ask this as i'm looking for an RA-500 or an alternative right now. I think the RA-100 only has 64 memories (1 bank) as opposed to the RA500 with 128 (2 banks).
