Jesus, and your still alive? I would have thrown myself under a double decker bus if one of my analogs died.

Hey man I'll say a prayer for your board tonight...

Why is it that you are so certain it is a chip? It is extremely uncommon for integrated circuits to fail. You had better give your Juno to a good technician to diagnose the problem. Transistors, diodes and voltage regulators are usually the first to go and these are widely available from such companies as Digikey. Theres also a lot of plugs and interfaces in the Junos. Often just disconnecting and reconnecting some of the plugs can suddenly bring an old beast to life.

If you know for certain that it is a chip...I've always been able to get parts from Rolands service center. They are not real friendly all the time but they will get you what you need. The first thing that you need to do is figure out the part number. Without the schematic, this is difficult. Roland may do this for you but don't hold your breath. It's not thier job to probe through schematics for do it yourselfers. You would be best giving it to a qualified service center unless you know what your doing.

I can't really give you acurate information unless you are more specific.

Well My juno was fine and working properly on Fri. on Sat.
It started Crackling and making crazy erratic noises.
I then cleaned out the contacts , switched cables(audio and midi)
Switched channels on the mixer, etc...
Then I opened her up and everything was very clean and looked in order. I plugged her back up and played a little and the noise got worse and worse as I played. now only 5 voices will play at a time
and the 3rd voice in test mode gives a very crazy and disturbing sound. So I went on the net and looked for a solution what I found at many sites was info about a bad batch of voice chips in the 106,
and this causes every 6th note not to play I am just assuming this is the problem, I do have the chip number I am supposed to get, but I wasnt sure how to go about getting it and price etc.
I just wanted o know if anyone else had a similar problem.
Any info and comments are much apreciated..
Thanks take care.......

My Jupiter 8 has a similar problem. If you play the keys sigularly, when you hit the 8th note, the sound it produces is not the same tonal qualities as the first 7, but the the next 7 are fine untill you hit the 8th note again. I think it might have something to do with the fact it has 8 voices, and one of them is stuffed.
It does suck, but I work around it easily enough with the music I make. I would still like to get it fixed though...

Oh and pedicelli, I do agree with your attitude on the realiability of analogues at times, but I would NEVER swap my faulty Jupiter 8 for a fully functional JP 8000.

Fuck you guys talking about analogue not being reliable Pedecelli and Skot_e?

This is blasphemy.......I have never had a single problem with my analogs. My probots are reliable as reliable can get. Damn, I can't believe your ill perceptions....

Quit starting Blasphemous Rumors...

Sorry man, but it CAN be true. I mean not all my analogue gear is shite. The JP is the only thing with a problem.
I should have been a little more precise I guess.

P.S. I did say "at times..."

I keep a fire extinguisher on the wall in back of my Pro-One. Also a light aimed over it to see if smoke is seeping out again.

If a Casio took a shit, who would actually fix that thing?

BTW: Any spare EG-101 parts in there?

Hi !

There is a "frequent" with Juno 106 which is random failure. A random key (which varies at each pressed key) is not playing. I've owned a 106 for 3 years (love it) but I sold it back. 3 months ago, I bought one again in a second hand shop in Paris specialized in analog gear and I took it back because of this problem.

Life is a bitch sometimes...

that's fuckin wierd... i had exactly the same thing with another old analog... can't remember which one tho... just started doing it one day, and it drove me nuts, but it turned out to be something unexpected in the settings... a random dead key exactly !, but it wasn't fucked at all.... it might have been an old Chase Trilogy maybe... but i'm fucked if i can remember what the fix was now.... rats !!
