Vintage Synth Repair

Noel,

I found this rather interesting DIY project that I thought was relative to your project.

Check out the third article down from the top, titled "MIDIbox SCE for Korg Wavestation"

on this midibox.org blog http://www.midibox.org/ . From what I am reading, it does give me the impression that transferring PCM files off of the original KORG cards to EPROM or SD is possible.

This page here http://net.indra.com/~cliffcan/01pcm.htm goes into great detail about the PCM data cards, copying & compatibility issues between the KORG 01/X2/X3 & Wavestation.

Happy New Year,
Mike

I am always rather amazed at how much $$$ people are asking for the PCM cards, and rather than shell out all the cash for the PCM cards, I would suggest buying the SR module.
