Hypersynth Hcard-750 Memory Cartridge for Roland D-50, unused/open-box

Hypersynth HCard-750 Preset Memory Cartridge for Roland D50, unused (open box).

This is my first listing on Reverb but I've been on the other well-know "e" selling site for around 25 years, with 100% positive feedback because I treat folks they way I'd want them to treat me.Will pack well, ship fast and email you the day it ships.

I bought this new a few years ago before checking to see if it would work with the rack version of the D50 - it won’t, it’s not long enough so the card contacts never reach the connector inside (duh). It was immediately obvious it wouldn’t fit so it went right back in the packaging and onto a shelf where I promptly forgot about it, so even though it’s been unsealed, it’s never been used. It holds 64 banks of 64 D50 patches each and comes preloaded with 11 banks according to the mfg.

Because this is a Rev1 Hcard-750, if I was looking at this, I’d want to know what was different from the Rev2 Hcard-750 being sold now, so here’s what the Rev2 version has that this one doesn’t (all text is from their website):

- CNC metal case with scratch-free red anodized finish

- Colored touch buttons

- Upgraded to new PCB with new microprocessor and more stable firmware

- Now draws less power from the D50 power supply

If any of those things are important to you, you should probably buy a new one. But if you could use essentially the same thing for less money in mint/unused condition, this isn’t a bad choice. 

The features below are the same for both Rev1 and Rev2 cards:

- Memory size: Up to 64 banks (4096 presets)

- Instant access to different banks using touch buttons

- Two digit bank indicator display

- No need for a battery

- Drop-in replacement for Roland M-256 and “DATA ROM” cards

- Hidden memory protect option

- External display support for listing all 64 presets in the selected bank

Here’s the 11 banks preloaded onto the card:
