Thanks man this sheds some insight... I did notice if i tweaked some parameters they did sound more like the sound on the chart. I have 2 choices: sell it or repair it. If i sell it(most likely with my jx- 3p), ill probly pick something like a dx7 or access. I shuda done my research.Though if i repair it, id like to modify it to make it one crazy analog. I do enjoy the arpeggiator, specially when at the max rate and full oct. Do you know any technicians who repair or calibrate? if so, what price range would i be looking at? how much is a basic midi retro fit? im from canada too, have you heard of any repair shops here? If u can answer any of these questions it would be a great help. Thanks again,, Jay --- In PolySix@yahoogroups.com, dizz@e... wrote: > Oh well, so you can't save presets. Not all is lost!
