$274 including shipping in the U.S. That's quite a bit more than I was expecting. I do pretty well using Sysex Librarian and a laptop. This is a lot more convenient, but is it $274 worth of convenience? Maybe if it had the PCM samples included...but it seems like a lot for patch data storage. It would be a fun and useful purchase at a price under $100. But pushing $300...you need to consider what other gear you could buy in that price range.
Oh wow this is brilliant. New life for peeps who have those boards. Good deal especially if you own more than one compatible board / rack it works with!
@@VultureCulture no it won’t. Roland made the D-550 slot deeper so that you don’t brush up against the card, when the synth is in the rack. At least I think that was the logic. At any rate, the HyperSynth Hcard 750 will not engage the circuitry in the deeper D-550 slot, compared to the D-50. HyperSynth has been promising a longer Hcard for a long time now. Apparently, they are working on a version that will fit the D-550, the JD-800 and the JD-990. (I just wonder how the display will be oriented on the rack modules). I own all three so this would be a no brainer purchase for me. The normal Roland RAM and ROM cards don’t have this issue. They just sit deeper in the D-550 than in the D-50.
Thanks, I ordered it. I have the Wavestation AD and EX. I dont want to "wreck" all my patches on the EX, so I will use the AD and use the patches on the card as a starting point to build more sound greatness. I really love the Wavestations sound, the K5000, and the Alesis Fusion. The K5000 requires digging to find great patches as I find it quite impossible to design nice sounding complex timbre ones myself (even as a seasoned sound designer).
Ya know what, i was thinking about something ; in the used audio gear realm, at the end of the day there are two cultures that we could almost catgegorise as social : There's VINTAGE, and there's RETRO. Vintage is all about getting expensive things that are valued by theyre quality, i'll admit that, but also by snobish reasons for a great part. RETRO gear, is valued by it's quality but also by it's inginuaty (that cant be the way you wright that; inginuity ? lol), the possibilitys to add retrofitted stuff and have some dying to make it more actual regarding options and controls, RETRO gear stays affordable and prices rarely go up the roof, and when they do, they dont stay there because the retro fans wont spend the money, and the vintage crowd will rather get Princes drum machine rather than a cool toy, no matter the super add ons.... so a casio cz1000 will stay at 350, a korgg ddd-1 will stay at 300, and a yamahha DX-27 will stay at 70 bux (lol, roger troutman didnt use the dx-27 but a dx27 is a dx100 with a mega keyboard and mega good speakers, with if it aint cool for a vintage fan, is hyper mega stylish for a retro fan... DX100: 350-500 bux, DX27:70 bux..........). So just to say, and finally this is exactly why i love the spirit of this channel : VINTAGE SUX AND IT'S DUMB, RETRO IS MEGA COOL AND IT"S UPLIFTING ! Oh and by the way, WILL SOMEBOPDY IN THE US SEND THIS GUY A CASIO CZ ? ! ? the people needs to know the truth, a CZ1000 will knock a Juno106 out anytime ! no matter when, no matter where (and i wish da Vulture man's gonna get both to demonastrate that FACT one day, so you owners in south us you get in touch and send him a unit).... Greetings form France, and as always: All Power to da CeeZ'll !

Dude I went and scooped a local mint wave station ex for 400 today add this and for 620 basically have a classic synth with thousands of sounds. Gonna pair well with my Polysix ❤🎉
@@VultureCultureyes sir!! should a perfect combination I’ve been waiting to modernize some of my fav 80s and 90s hits. Hoping to layer some fat tracks of the analog and these early digital patches. The guy who had the polysix prior to me modded it so that you can pass another instrument through its analog chorus, phase and ensemble. Sounds awesome passing guitar through it, super excited to try this guy through it🎉
Yep - I had an earlier expanded Card like that for my Wavestation - sold that rig to one of my students and at his first live gig using it, someone stole that card - I cried along with him!
No sooner did you play a couple patches and there was a magic that I found better than modern synth presets which I find uninspiring with a few exceptions like the Summit, Hydrasynth, Diva, Pigments and Spire. I like making my own anyway, but this is really lovely and if you use these in a mix you won't sound like everyone else because it bridges the time continuum of 1990-2005.
I have the original Hypersynth D-50 card, which is amazing. I don’t (yet) own an M1, so forgive me if I’m missing it - what is the benefit of the M1 patches if you can’t really use them without the corresponding PCM cards? Obviously this has other features but expanding the onboard sounds without owning all the rare expansion cards would make this very appealing for M1 owners, but it seems somewhat limited on its own… would be happy to be wrong!
There are *a lot* of patches that don't require the additonal PCM cards but I absolutely see your point. They are working on a PCM version of this card.
You cannot play a Wavestation or DS-8 sound, those synths have wildly different architectures from the M1. You can play some T1 + M1 EX sounds that use the M1 factory library.
is it possible to get the pcm from the card collection I to the m1 somehow without chasing vintage cards ? I saw waveRex on the internet do you know anything about it? like does it come with all the m1 pcm cards on file to load?
@@VultureCulture so waveRex lets you load your own samples onto a electronic interface shaped like a pcm card. the accompanying software lets you convert your audio file to m1 specs. this card goes in the pcm slot and a usb lead to your computer is used to load your custom samples to this pcm interface. seems amazing to me, I was wondering if they include all the m1 card files in the package. I sent them an email just now. this also works on the wavestation and the T series. could be an interesting episode if you can obtain one, I recall they are a bit expensive. they also have an rd8 pcm card that is supposed to have sample files for Linn and 909 and others which you can load and assign right into your rd8. cheers it's great to see such appreciation for these vintage synthesizers which I think are the best ever made !
I am new to the process of adding soundbanks. Recently purchased the hypersynth for the m1 after watching your video. Would like to add downloaded soundbanks to the ooen user banks. Is there a step by step instruction on how to do so? Thank you so much.
My friend Matt Wright did a video to show how to restore the factory sounds via sysex: czcams.com/video/kgxASZ_x8uA/video.htmlsi=v0dwqi3gnTe24CG2 Follow the steps but with your sound bank, and then copy it to one of the empty banks on the Hcard-101
I actually haven't made a bank for the M1 but for the D-50. My M1 product is a bunch of samples of my favorite patches which would be redundant for you sadly
@@VultureCulture this m1 is way more than enough for my experiments paired with vintage alesis drums and sequencer archived with a fostex, however the d50 may be the next installment...
whoaaa soo cool!! ive got myself a mint ds-8 and ive got the dcu 400 patch card already... im sorry for silly question: this device would give my ds-8 more sounds than my already 400?? thank you!! dig your channel!!
@@Dr-StuThey definitely have one and it works flawlessly. It doesn’t have OLED (at least the model I have) - just 7-segment LEDs to show a bank number, but it does the job.
So this just has the patch parameters programmed onto it? There are no new sampled waveforms? That's why you need the ROM cards if you load patches that don't use the original internal factory samples. It would be a lot cooler if it contained all the ROM card samples so you had an entire collection of those cards in one unit.
My Waldorf Microwave 1 uses a Korg MCR-03 card... this emulates the MCR-03 so Im thinking/wondering/hoping maybe this would work or could be made to work with a Microwave? that would be rad!
yes, I did contact them (Own all of there other H-cards and loving them). They did not test it with the SR. Would love to buy this card as well but don't want to spend this money before confirming compatibility@@VultureCulture
@@VultureCulture oh, I get that and agree. It's just the M3R gets no support for these things. I suppose, I shouldn't be too surprised, its not quite as powerful as the M1. Only a small number of people have and like M3Rs.
That web site is the most confusing web site ever- cant even see how the cost is on their site or how to order. Would have been nice had you mentioned the cost of the card.
Correction: The Korg A1 is an effects processor, not a synth.
Yes. It's part of the A series. I have two A3. 😊
OMG!! 😮 all we need now is a card for all the ROM cards! 😊 This is incredible!

I think it's like $20 more than a regular modern memory card. Crazy value.
so cool, can not wait til the Roland D-550 version comes out
Sadly this has been in discussion for a long time. I don’t know if the rackmount Wavestation AD has the same issues.
There's already one for the D-50, will that not work for the D-550? www.hypersynth.com/Hcard_750.html

I wasn’t aware about this one. I have Hypersynth cards for DX7 and D50 and they work great. Thank you, Vulture Culture!
They're so amazing!
It definitely would be great to have something incredible like this for the Karma as it's one of my go to synths.
That would be cool!

Heck yeah! Just ordered for my M1... and a DX7 card as well cause why not?
Hell yeah!
Im using a m1 and wavestation so i might need twocards. ❤
You can use just the one card for both!
Great sound⚡⚡
Truly!
If i couldnt get the m1 to make the dual oscillators dw8000 waveforms i might get the dw8000 to do some sounds and sample them instead. ❤
