Re: Roland D-110 dim backlight

Here comes the the moral that buying does not solve always the troubles with a blind belief to seller solutions. But we buy again, huh?! so much trouble becouse to get brighter backlight. ;) I gave the complete recipe for that and why are you completely ignoring that? -- A just increase the current ...

Re: Portable DAW upgrade from 10 yr old laptop

Well, thats becouse they develop the software what they really do not use really. It seems like the programmers do it like they hate the product, the users and computers. What the professionals use, I really have no idea, becouse everything crashes whatever I use when it comes to windows, or is some...

Re: Roland JV2080 - user memory damage

If the battery low message appears then it is clear that battery needs change. For low voltage the memory will be garbled. It is recommended at first always to go to TEST MODE before sending somewhere the unit. (turn power on, press shift-enter, turn Value knob while holding down the arrowUp AND arr...

(well. With javascript the site loads too long time. Thats why I disable it. Disabled javascript does not affect the messaging function.

Re: Portable DAW upgrade from 10 yr old laptop

it looks like a dream come true when reading the DAW spec (whatever they are or have been the last 10 years), but it makes gray hairs when really trying to use it even 10% to the spec! Crashes, incompatibility issues between old and new versions. :( My projects are using stock VSTs which were coming...

Re: Roland D-110 dim backlight

the backlight has nothing to do with LCD itself. it is just poor visibility without backlight. so these 2 have totally different lives. what popped into my head is that the new LCD module is not compatible to old one, if You swapped out the LCD module as well, and not just backlight. to swap the bac...

Re: Alpha Juno 1 battery drain

all can be solved with step-by-step analysis.

Step one.
Put the multimeter between, just to measure with a multimeter how much is the current consumtion from the battery or voltage source.
How much is it?

Re: Portable DAW upgrade from 10 yr old laptop

Well, I have searched here some VSTs and discovered another trouble -- the manufacturers do not sell older versions and are not interested about their sales. What if I do not want the latest?! They do not bother. I see that trouble with the latest versions is their demand for latest contemporary sys...

Re: Roland D-110 dim backlight

dont panic. its unlikely that you have bricked it, becouse the LCD module and backlight has life of its own.

just begin to check the supply voltages from power supply at first (in case if you caused 5V short circuit) and just get the backlight in working order.

Re: Help...Juno 106 going bad?

2. There is very little information about the memory protect switch in the original J106 manual. Why does it have two ON positions (3 position switch...off in the middle)? Does it matter which On position you use? Do they have different functions? Do you have to turn the memory protect switch to ON...

Re: DX7 Ground Noise

I have a DX7 that recently started to put out this solid ground noise (about 1/4 the volume of the output). Is there a way to easily find where the noise is coming from by tracing the ground? I have a multimeter. It all looks visually in tact so am wondering if the noise could be coming from somewh...

Re: OB-6/Prophet-6/Jupiter 6

Hmm, that's a tough one. Having just gotten my P600 set up with gligli's mod, I'm well and truly in love with it - but it's hard to imagine parting with that glorious Juno chorus. (I'd say if anything, look at ditching the Alpha Juno 2 instead - but I've only had a tiny bit of experience with that ...
