It is the same reply I received but I thought it might be a joke :shock:. I don't understand "discontinued", PA3X just arrived to Canada? Is it discontinued everywhere or just at Korg Canada?

So I ask Korg now, what am I supposed to do? Pay some greedy guy double the price for the expansion, in asis condition, on eBay? :evil:

I know, it's really stupid, I had to do just that, fortunately it was Ok, but I paid lots of money for ridiculous small RAM ($200, $20 shipping plus duties), now days when the price of 2GB RAM is about $30-40
I got mine on e-bay from a guy out of New York.

On the other hand I got 4GB Ram on my Kronos, and I installed a 120GB SSD HD in it, that all together was about the same as I paid for that 256MB RAM.

What's type of RAM to have the same capability of that we can use for Pa3X to expand the PCM memory or do we have to use the EXBM256 from Korg?Thanks

Hi ajpa3x

I do have an extra one EXB-M256 - 256 MB RAM for sale. I had placed bids on two of them and ended up winning both. You can pm if interested.

This is not original Korg RAM. Apparently Korg voids warranty if original ram is not installed. That is what I was told by Korg Canada
