compact flash adapter

27 Dec 2008, 16:24

Greetings to all,
I bought me a Juno-G this week, and I'm just familiarizing myself with it. I'd like to get the CF adapter, and card, but they seem to very scarce online, and to be honest, I'm not completely sure which one to get. The manual is not very helpful concerning this. I'd be grateful if someone could steer me to the place where you bought yours, so I'll get the right one. Thank you.
John Sr.

If I remember correctly botht the Juno and Fantom take the same kind of adapter... here is the one I use from Panasonic its like $15 total with shipping .....also this adapter uses SD cards which are cheaper and far more plentiful in most parts of the world.

I am using a 1GB SD card via PC-Card adaptor with my Juno-G and it works fine.

John,

Hey! I bought a SanDisk CompactFlash PC Card Adapter at Best Buy last week for $3.99. It was in the camera department hanging at the bottom of all the memory cards.

It works great in my X6. I assume it would work in the Juno, but for less than 4 bucks you can't lose.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the help finding one. I guess I'll go Monday after work to Best Buy like Lenny suggested.

Just more food for thought..... CF cards are a hit or miss type of thing in alot of places. SD cards can be found quite readily just about anywhere and are pretty cheap so you are able to keep back ups and spares......not to mention just about everyones camera has one. The reason I say this is because I am a traveling musician and always carry back ups of my keyboard setups just in case of disaster. I always have at least two copys of my SD card on hand, a copy in my hard drive of my laptop and another on CD-rom. SD cards will be with us for sometime. I cant really say the same for CF. Just some things to consider when making your purchase

I actually tried an SD adapter and an SD card before taking them back and getting the CompactFlash adapter and card.

My X6 wouldn't recognize the SD card no matter what I did. I read the manual and it specifically mentioned the CompactFlash and said nothing about an SD, so I bought the CF.

It's interesting to know that some people got SD cards to work. I wonder why mine wouldn't.

to be fair ..... the first adapter card I purchased didnt work right. It made all my samples import with static crackling noises. I can guarantee you the panasonic adapter will work. I have 3 of these adapters and all three work flawlessly...told you Im a stickler for having back-ups

. All my SD cards are 1 gig models and from different manufacturers.

My guess would be that you had a bad adapter since some seem not to work right in music gear.

I used PC card reader 6 in 1. I tried different tipes of cards.
SD 2Gb worked fine for a while. Then my PC card inteface in my X8 has died. I don't think it was PC adapter problem. Have anybody seen similar problem. I will try to repair it.

All of my local stores are sold out and I can't find any online. It would have been really helpful if you could just save things directly to the PC via the USB port.

Interesting problem their Keyborg. I havnt experianced any issues with mine. Been using the adapter in it for over 1 year and has been out of the country 3 times. I remove the adapter before ever moving my keyboard.....is it possible you didnt remove the adapter and something hit or bumped the board where the adapter interface is?

hrbrtsptl , I posted a link a little further up in this thread for the Panasonic adapter I use with SD cards. They show them instock. Here it is again

Thanks, but I'm in the UK and that would take longer than waiting for another source to come in stock, which some model has done.
