The JD-800 Patch Organizer created by Laurent Lecatelier-Dudec (France), was released as freeware in 24/04/1999 (date in original author´s site) and is no more available from the programmer´s site.
In more recent years, Gwydion Elderwin (Australia) created a JD-800 Randon Bank Creator and a Jd-800 to JD-990 Bank Converter.
About the patch banks here.
The first I found many years ago, was compiled by Stephen Drake, the guy who kept most of JD material available for years. This site is proud to pay him our tribute. Thanks Stephen!
The first internet banks are so-so grouped, thus makes some sense.
Gwydion also have done a strong work removing duplicates from hundreds of patches, adding lots more and creating a library for each synth. Still is missing time to classify all that stuff into categories.
Missing all you my friends, I know business and daily life take time, but I would be happy to receive some news.
The bank files are in .rar format. You need Winrar or compatible to extract it.
Also:
Formats supported: JD-800 SysEx dumps (SYX, MID)JD-990 SysEx dump (SYX)JD-800 VST / Zenology patch bank (BIN)JD-08 patch bank (SVD)ZC1 patch bank (SVZ)

Roland JD-800 SE Especial Edition Patches (a Brazilian version not in the factory presets). This was an interesting remarkable work from great Brazilian musicians with new exclusive patches. Most people forgot to save that and lose the patches made by Roland's Brazil people. Some (few) requires the Strings card.

Hi Gilberto - Thanks for the mention! And the superb site! My old JD800 is still serving me well, although it's in need of some care and feeding, so I'll be reviewing your pages in the near future.
