All about the Roland Jupiter-series

hello,

There are some problems with my jp8... the most annoying one is
that I cannot save my patches! Everytime I turn it off, the patches I
stored are gone forever. I did some tests, the memory only lasts 20
seconds after power off. The patches made by its former user are all
crappy and cannot be rewritten...

Maybe it's the battery which should be replaced? the manual says it
should be replaced every 3 year... Any ideas?

Thanks,
mooby

Oh-Oh,I don't want to make you panic but this doesn't look good.
I had the same problem...I replaced the battery (in the Roland factory in
Geel-Belgium!) and it didn't work..Seemed like my memory-block is broken...
I have a little tape-recorder insterted in TAPE IN and everytime I turn my
studio on I load the patches in the memory...If I end my session and I
altered sounds in my jup8 I just save them on tape....Fast enough and no
memory needed..I know it looks like it takes time but in the time your
studio is booted the jup8 should have loaded it sounds already..
Keep me informed if you fix it/results

Good luck!
