JDXA silver knobs on the system-8

Post by Acidizer »

the standard knobs are a bit ghetto on a synth this price. the system-8 would look great with the silver-top knobs that the JDXA has - especially with the aluminium sides!

i wonder if they fit... ?

i would probably use the red-top knob for the cut off too, since it indicates the cut off, even though it should be green in this case... maybe it would still look good in amongst all that green. maybe it would "pop".

the bigger knobs i'm less sure about, but maybe they would fit too.

what do you think?

i think you might be able to buy spare knobs from roland.

Agree, I have a System-1 and would like to 'upgrade' the knobs to match my JD-XA.
