Members joystick Posted June 13, 2006 Members Share Posted June 13, 2006 My JP8000 is acting strange.It changes sounds by itself.I changed the internal battery also gave it a factory reset and all was fine.Today the sucker screwed up again.It seems to edit itself making the sounds useless.WTF could be wrong with it?I feel like throwing it out the window!

Members joystick Posted June 14, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 14, 2006 No lfo on,this thing is totally crazy.Even after a factory reset this bastard of a synth screws up.Have to ring up Roland tomorrow and ask them what's wrong with it.Really pisses me off big time!Only bought the thing afew months ago.

Members mrcpro Posted June 14, 2006 Members Share Posted June 14, 2006 Listen closely and see if it's a specific paramater that's changing and screwing up the patch. Roland's sliders are generally pretty solid, but the knobs on these newer machines of theirs can get loose, and when they do they spontaneously spit out erratic data and mess things up. A possibility as to why your JP-8000 is now nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members joystick Posted June 14, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 14, 2006 mrcpro,Hey,you are right.Called the Roland Tech and he confirmed what you are saying.Now the bloody joystick is knackered.It won't respond either way,totally dead.I reckon,my place is haunted,coz the joystick stopped working over night.Took the whole thing apart,can't see any loose connections or other problems.I give up with this.Can't afford any crappy repair bills.

Members mrcpro Posted June 14, 2006 Members Share Posted June 14, 2006 Hey joystick- If you're good enough to disassemble your JP-8000, you can maybe repair the pots yourself. These pots are not nutted down to the chassis, and what's happened it that it's been pushed down and the wiper in the pot has been pushed back. You can bend it back up with a small screwdriver. There are instructions on how along with pictures of a guy doing it on a Fantom on fantomized.info. Don't try it without having a look... I have not done this!

Members FINGERFUNK Posted June 14, 2006 Members Share Posted June 14, 2006 Have you tried re-installing the operating system? I had some problems with mine, a while ago, and that fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to see if I can find the instructions (haven't done it in so long). I know you can get the os here: http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.aspx?ObjectId=261 You have to use a sequencer program to install it. I'll see if I can find the exact instructions when I get home if somebody else can't help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
