Unlike most of these kinds of posts, I know it exists or existed as I used to have it. Many years ago, I bought a USB stick with Roland XV5080 bootleg sample sets on them (I think they were "TrueSamples" or something) and there was a problem in the delivery, so the guy gave me a set of kontakt instruments that were made from the JD800 String Expansion Card (SL-JD80-04). I believe it was the full set. I ultimately threw away many of them as they sounded redundant with all the other samples I had then and only kept a few thinking if I needed them again, they'd show up on one of these sites.

Well, so many years later, I've never seen them again. I don't think anywhere. I would've kept them all and uploaded them myself if I thought I'd never see them again.

So I'm wondering if anyone else has ever seen or heard of these JD800 expansion card Kontakt sets before? I guess I don't even really need to re-find them, I just refound the JD80-04 samples I kept and got curious if anyone else knows of these or anything; or if any of the other JD800 expansion samples ever got turned into Kontakt libraries.

 

I looked and the only one I saw shared was: Roland JD-800 High Quality Pad Sounds for KONTAKT. And it is from ~2013.

Did you try the Roland Cloud version of the JD-800? There is also an RC XV5080 emulation.

 

I couldn't ever figure out which Roland Cloud VST was the JD800/990, if it was "Anthology 1993" or whatever, so I hadn't tried that one in their Cloud service. I guess there's a separate, stand-alone JD800 VST that I may or may not have known about, but does that have the expansions with it?

Anyway, yeah, I might be the only one around that still remembers this set of JD800 String Kontakt stuff. Maybe I should upload the incomplete set here or there or somewhere and see if anyone else can get a bead on them.
