Hi again Gil,
Many thanks for your quick reply..;~)
Yes, it is kind of strange - but I can live (and have been living)
with it. Yes, the JP8 does have the very early Kenton Midi kit installed.
The only slider that seems to have any wear (side to side play) is the
Arpeggiator speed. But it still work absolutely fine. All other
controls do what they are supposed to - like I said earlier, when you
are playing with the sliders, anything that might link to the
'popping' is quite apparent ('cos I am almost always lookimng for it!)
and I investigate anything I might see as a 'lead'... but this is
fault totally intermittent and random.
I do have a JP8 service manual on pdf but it's a crapy copy and quite
hard to read, maybe I could do with a better one..?
So there is a manual patch buffer... that would make sense. Wonder
where that lives, on which panel in the machine?
Maybe I should enqire with a tech?
I found a JP8 discussion group recently... thinking of joining there
as well.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Thanks again.
Tom

have the service manual for the JP-8?
