Whoah, this is odd... does your Jupiter have any MIDI retrofit installed? Are you positive that all sliders are ok? Grounding and electrical conditions ok? Weird, sounds like if there were something wrong with the temporary patch edit buffer (that is, manual). Do you have the service manual for the JP-8?

Hi Gil, and anyone else reading... thanks for the quick reply.

Well, my JP8 has a slight fault that I would really like to get to the
bottom of. It's nothing major but it's niggling at me to address.

When I am in 'Manual' edit - there is a small intermittent 'pop' or
'click' on the audio that doesn't seem to be in synch with anything
(like LFO speed etc...) It seems totally random.

(At one point I thought it might have been something to do with the
filter, don't know exactly why I thought that but you know how it is -
when playing around with the controls you get an impression, it was
just a hunch...)

Anyway, if I construct a sound while in edit mode (and putting up with
the 'pop')- and then save the patch... the resulting 'save' is 'pop'
free...! In fact, any preset patch is fine - it's just in 'Manual'
mode I get this symptom.

Anybody have any ideas or come across this before please?

Many thanks in advance....
Cheers,
Tom
