arrgh! another 80017a chip dead on my 106. Now I can keep stealing chips from the MKS7, which will also fail sometime, or trust this guy with 250euros http://www.analoguerenaissance.com/D80017A/
and get a whole set of 6, as well as 3 voice chips.
Any robots did this?

thnx
it a great synth really love the sound and its great in combination with the my kpr77's and the solist 101. need to fix one of the solist its stuck cant be much.... and the vibrato doesnt work....

that broken one we have at the shop does the same sort of thing.. it kind of acts like the dead voice chip thing that juno's do.. maybe they have the same chip that goes bad. or dead battery? buy kerry's broken one and send them to main drag.

i had a similar problem when i bought a second jx-3p (they are too good ). it was bad packed. some pots were bend. but the major problem was, that every sixth played note was not hearable. running the sequencer showed it very easy. and some presets were dead too. i mailed Florian Anwander who has built a very usefull jx-3p website (http://fa.utfs.org/diy/jx3p/). but even he never heard of such strange behavior. he told me a kind of testmode. i could fix the dead presets but not the sixth voice. but he also told me, that there are not the same voice chips as in the juno. in the end i sent the jx-3p back and got my money back also.

btw: the impressed button on my jx-3p (mentioned one page before) is working again without any work... fews days after my posting it worked just fine again.

oh, thanks for the site automatique - do you remember how to get into the test mode? that sounds like it would be useful

yep... the jx3p has the same filter/vca chips as the juno106..

I'm trying to restore my Pro~One, and especially the pots and keys. I've found a place to order bushings, but in the meantime I'm trying to fix the scratchy pots. Just ordered Deoxit Faderlube, but somehow I don't think that will cut it. The pots feel awkward and different among themselves, so I reckon I'll have to open them up and give them a thorough cleaning. Do you have some tips or tricks here? Anything I shouldn't do? I assume that I need to relubricate the pot after opening, and I wonder if I should get some sort of grease for that instead of using the deoxit... Any feedback at all is super appreciated!

have you tried turning the pots repeatedly?

here's a guide

My Boss Dr 55 started to do a strange clock sound on the Accent...a bit useless...any idea?

Hey! It got a clock sound, that normally it should not exists...so is a bit useless, cause of course if i do not program the accent, i cant tring the synths.

about your topic, i know that the dr55 trig is very weak, probably u need to amplify it

I bought a KORG dw 8000 today.
everything works fine, only the arpeggiator  doesn't work. If I push on the arp buttom and hold a key nothing comes out. no sound. Also the arp speed light doesn't work if I move the speed slider up/down.

Some contact problem? Do I have to push some chips / contacts?

thanks!
