Roland JP 4 not working ...any suggestions?

"Any ideas synthheads? It has been stored in a cold/damp environment for over a year or so . It may be voice chips but I think I may have heard 4 notes simultaneously. Notes will not release at all, hold button in off position. I am downloading owners and service manuals to see if they are of any help."

  1. The very first thing I'd do is make sure the hold switch isn't stuck or shorted out- probably have to take it apart and disconnect it.

    You don't have a "voice chip" problem, because Jupiter-4's don't have voice chips- the synthesis is discrete. You may have a problem with the voice assign board because it isn't shutting notes off.

  2. I have the same problem and the only solution I found was to smash on it on the right side...really hard... surely not the smartest thing to do...
