To be clear, since 2002 when I got the JD-800 and created this site. </p><p>In a short, the JD-800 SE is a version with the Strings Card plus <b>exclusive patches </b>but the <b>same </b>original factory presets. </p><p>In practice, the JD-800 SE included all 5 cards. </p><p>In the early 91-92, people from Roland's Brazil asked for a group of very experimented Brazilian musicians to help create new patches for the JD-800. </p><p>This version received an entirely new set of patches <b>not included</b> in the factory presets. </p><p>But this was a <b>problem </b>too because almost all users forgot to save the internal memory into a memory card (not included), so those patches become <b>lost </b>for a long time. </p><p>So, if you have a JD-800 SE and restore factory presents, you will lose the SE version patches! This happened to most of them sadly. </p><p>After nearly two decades, I found someone who still has the patches saved plus the original prints included with that special model. </p><p>And yes, I have the <b>JD-800 SE</b>, but I was after such patches for a long time, and still, sadly I do have not the String Card (a really fantastic one). </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8sWet5UxcdWj81mV-NGaYAQPTmL-4a4fIRDWPyrJlQSczLHns8-wEOHOIJLF1T8xchkH6iBeHdm-CcudreAFafzslwDIpCMNqC_RLwWrUx1p1i6FnhuXIgDwHoeNkHDO3vtLQ4lQfVhos6oySpc14PQG_vAo9xVzj9o1pKJhtIXkXTon-e6IyV-iH/s3264/20201214_205233.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8sWet5UxcdWj81mV-NGaYAQPTmL-4a4fIRDWPyrJlQSczLHns8-wEOHOIJLF1T8xchkH6iBeHdm-CcudreAFafzslwDIpCMNqC_RLwWrUx1p1i6FnhuXIgDwHoeNkHDO3vtLQ4lQfVhos6oySpc14PQG_vAo9xVzj9o1pKJhtIXkXTon-e6IyV-iH/w640-h480/20201214_205233.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>The new patches were created due to the great work of: </p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Eric Persing</li><li>Adrian Scott</li><li>Paulot Roberto T.

This beautiful custom JD-800 became probably the most famous JD-800 in the world!<br />
And I found some of the making photos posted by <a class="owner-name-with-by truncate" data-rapid_p="50" data-track="attributionNameClick" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/27007165@N06/" title="Go to hamsterdunce's photostream"><b>hamsterdunce</b></a> at Flickr.<br />

Here is the album description:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Jeff Toman of Customsynth.co.uk artistically created beautiful new all-white look for my Roland JD-800, in the style of a classic '80s SH-101 synth. The logo was altered to match the style. It's a perfect way to go, since the faders are identical to the ones used on the SH. This set follows my work this afternoon at my friend Randel's synth barn in Essex, CT, as we add the custom parts onto an otherwise stock synth."</blockquote>
