Korg MEX-8000 Memory Expander | Why didn't they go for cartridges like everyone else?


video upload by Espen Kraft

"The Korg MEX-8000 Memory Expander from 1986, Korg's way of adding memory to their synths at the time. Where Roland, Yamaha, Casio and many other brands chose to use cartridges, Korg chose the MEX-8000 box that through MIDI could be hooked up to several of their synths at the time.
4 memory banks of 64 patches each. A total of 256 program settings.
Was this the best way to expand on memory locations at the time? Is the smaller, more cheap (then) cartridges the better way? I don't know.
Big thanks to Anders Jensen for giving me this for Christmas some years ago. I finally did it man!
