bump this is real

I've been waiting and waiting, and I'm baffled as to why specifically the layout of the JP8K's panel wasn't recreated in a newer version by roland or any other synth manufacturer. Since ~2002, I always just assumed 'oh well maybe next NAMM'. Someone I know sent the email below to Roland and every o...

I emailed Roland also, but asking here too for good measure. I love the mc 505 presets but I want more of that 'set' plus easier & more in depth editing of them. I know JX-305 is the "keyboard version of MC-505", but would I get more of the same set of presets and editing with somethin...

My other JP, the OSC 2 fine wide doesn't click in center either but it should. All knobs with a thicker center dash mark (the ring of dashes around the knob) are supposed to click in center.

I brought one of my JPs to a tech and he did an onboard test the JP has that shows if there's a problem with any of the knobs / sliders. I think it was something more than I know you can hold Shift and turn a knob and it should show on the screen something like 0 to 127 but I don't think he sat ther...

Got this synth cheap used with quite a lot of problems (LFOs going crazy by themselves etc etc). Brought it to a tech who fixed it but fixed for only about 5 months it worked %100, and he charged me almost more than a %100 functioning used one would have cost. I went to play it one day and the scree...
