Hi There, Try also the JP8 midi retrofit from encore
(www.encoreelectronics.com)
I installed for myself in about 2 hours, easy and very good retrofit.

Josue.

The Kenton kit is fairly easy to install if you have a little experience
with that sort of thing. Also check out the Encore Electronics retrofit. You

can download the PDF manual for each on their correspondiong websites,
http://www.kenton.co.uk and http://www.encoreelectronics.com and take a
look at what it entails.
I am very happy with the Encore kit. The JP-8 does not have a robust power
supply for the design so there's not too much additional horsepower there.
The Encore kit was designed very well and the JP-8 works perfectly with it
installed...no dimming lights, unexpected restarts, etc. I have heard of a
few problems with the Kenton kit in this regard. Maybe others on the list
with that kit will respond.

Regarding the JP-8 I have designed a website specifically for the JP-8 and
it will go online in 5 to 6 days. It is a complete JP-8 resource center with

everything from FAQ to General Info, History, Pics, Patches, samples, JP-8
related links, and most importantly direct download of the JP-8 manual and
service manual in PDF format....and more...
