128 Mb Ram Memory from Pa2X Pro Question

GXG · Post by **GXG** » Mon Apr 11, 2011 11:24 pm

Hello ! I was wondering if anyone tried to see if the standard Ram memory of Pa2X Pro (128Mb) can be used succesfuly in Korg M3. I would suppose that it works but I'm afraid not to spoil something. As long as the optional memory for Pa2X and M3 is the same EXB-M256, the physical shape of the 128 Mb memory has to be the same, I don't see reasons not to work. But I ask if someone already tried. Thanks !

There has been a lot of discussion before about using "Standard" memory cards instead of the EXB-256M. I don't remember seeing this specific question before, but the main conclusion was that only the EXB card would work. If you have one to try, it PROBABLY wouldn't hurt anything to try it, but then again, it probably won't work.

Hy, Muji ! I'm not talking about a random standard Ram memory, I'm concerned about the 128 Mb memory of Pa2X Pro, which most probably will be find in the Pa3X. I own an M3 and I'm waiting for the Pa3X. I bought these days an EXB-M256 Memory for the future Pa3x. But the Pa series has only one available slot for Ram memory, so when I upgrade it with the EXB-M256, I will have an unused 128 memory available. What I want to do is to use that memory into M3. Did I make myself understood ?

Very clearly. Good luck.

Yes, I believe so. If Rob Sherratt is still browsing these forums he may be able to confirm this.

Cheers

Thanks again ! If noone tested that memory into the M3, I'll do it and tell you here the results. But I'll have to wait for few weeks tll Pa3x will be in my possesion. All the best !

I know there is some good information in this sentence, but I can't quite find it. Did it work or not?

I can confirm this. The 128MB ram module will not work with an M3. Mate of mine had a go, and it didn't work. I didn't try it my self as i value my M3 highly hence not risking any damage to it lol.

Korg PA2X PRO accepts EXB256 memory card so, the included 128MB has the same specifications!
I think it works perfectly with M3!!
I remember Rob has agreed in the past because I had the same question!!

I can't belive that EXB128Mb doesn't work on M3. What is explanation???
Hello, Korg???

Good question - WHY?
