Hi all I stumbled across a post on the Reddit synthesizer page the other day ... the author has reverse engineered an AN1x patch and has gone on to develop a new and excellent (and FREE) editor for the synth... I'm not associated with the project at all but it was such an unexpected find and such a ...

Don't worry... all fixed.

Hi all I'm scratching my head over this recently found problem with my M1 and I'm hoping someone might have a clue... I recently reloaded the M1 factory patches via sysex because I needed one of the drum patches and discovered that the M1 won't (or can't) play any drum sounds... I also loaded other ...

Hi all I got my hands on a bunch of old music magazines from the 80s... what a fantastic read and I'm sad to say, I can remember actually buying some of the exact same issues... time flies. I thought I'd share a snippet from one of the images... it's a sighting of a new fangled bit of gear called a ...

Hi all Well it was a miserable and wet weekend way over in my part of the world so what better way to mindlessly occupy yourself (well... the second best way), than to make a video for an old track that has been gathering dust? I don't have proper video editing software so everything was cobbled tog...

Most of the times when single pixel rows (or columns) are stuff, it's not the display that's dead but a connector being loose. Re-soldering the display connector may (or may not) help. Hi Jojo Yeah that's what I thought it might be... I've seen repair videos where the display was fixed by simply pr...

Hi all I finished mastering my new album 'Groupset' several months ago and have basically sat on it all this time... I've given a few friends copies of the CD and have received a lot of blank stares and puzzled looks so I gather it's not quite what they were expecting to hear. In a nutshell, it's a ...

Hello everyone, I want to buy a Power Supply for Roland Jupiter 8. I found it on this site https://www.rolandjp.com I wanted to ask, has anyone dealt with this site? Is this site legitimate? It looks a bit suspect to me... it might be genuine but for the prices they charge for their gear, I'd be em...

Poor Nigel! :mrgreen: Out of curiosity, what's the issue with the display? Hi Jojo Sorry... just saw your post. My screen has developed vertical lines of dead pixels on one side of the screen... you can get rid of most of them by turning the contrast all the way up and it then 'fills in' the blank ...

Hi all I was trying (unsuccessfully) to repair the LCD screen on my Triton Rack ... there's a fair amount of disassembly and unplugging/re-plugging involved and I accidentally forgot to reconnect a screw to a PCB which was a little bit critical to the operation... I saw this display when I rebooted ...

Update: I reverted back to my previous 1.01 (not 1.02 as I thought) EPROM, and startup time is back to about 3.5 seconds.

I'm running v1.02 and the startup time from power on to patch name display is about 8.5 seconds (less than 9 sec, more than 8 sec)

ponderous :-/

Very cool! Makes me want a JD-990 again.

You can never go wrong with a JD-990 up your sleeve

When looking into getting a K2500 or any of its variants, I checked the offers on ebay... sure enough, some shops think that they can charge you anything if the thing works, no matter how butchered it is. It's that time of the year again. :mrgreen: I know the JD-800 prices are beyond crazy these da...

Hi Jojo

That sounds like me... I've got a JD-800, JD-990 and one of your world-famous RAM cards (two actually).

P.M. me with a step-by-step of what you want me to do and how you want me to do it and I'll give it a go sometime over the weekend.

cheers!

Holy cr#p That's a lot of mucking around.... I've always wanted either a SY77 or 99 but now I'm not so sure.... but to own an old synth means you have to be prepared to put it on the operating table every now and then... I've opened up my M1 so many times that I can do it blindfolded and my JD800 is...
