Gem SK 760 88 880, EMU, Akai, Roland synthesizer RAM 16MB Modules (for a total of 32MB) – HOWTO: which modules to use

As various people were asking me which modules to use for their old retro synthesizers, here is an update on that issue. Lots of those RAM are hard to find, but if you know what to search for you can easily order them in the internet.

(1) 30pin SIMM Modules, 16MB

Roland FANTOM-S S88 MC-909 MV-8800 ROLAND FANTOM-S ROLAND FANTOM-S88 ROLAND MC-909 ROLAND MC-808 ROLAND MV-8000 ROLAND MV-8800 ROLAND FANTOM X6, X7, X8, XA, XR ROLAND JUNO-G E-MU ESI-32 E-MU E64 E-MU EIV AKAI MPC3000 KURZWEIL K2000 KURZWEIL K2000R GEM EQUINOX GEM GPS-PS2500 GEM WK4 GEM WK6 GEM WK8 GEM SK76 GEM SK88 GEM SK760 GEM SK880

Make sure you get RAM that have the speeds from 50ns to a maximum of 70ns. 80ns SIMM modules are not recommended for synth upgrades!

(2) Apple RAM 30pin

Apple RAM 30pin work very good in the GEM Synthesizers, as well as in other older synths that take 30pin RAM SIMM modules, as they have the same specs.

If you are searching for old SIMM, SIPP or 72pin RAM, you can also drop us a mail, since we have lots of old memory modules that we collected. We are not a business but would be willing selling those.
