“for auction is a used Roland JX-3P synthesizer. PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION
This synth has always functioned 100% for me for MANY years (besides the brightness slider which just broke off near the base of the post… will be included in auction)
HOWEVER… I recently opened it up to change the battery when it died, and realized it is the weird cylindrical type battery, not the
typical 2032 battery I was prepared to insert. I clipped the battery (same voltage) correctly to the posts and the preset saving worked
again. The problem is, now the editor no longer works. When you select a parameter to edit…the moment you touch the value slider, the parameter value jumps down to zero and will not respond to the slider any more. I am certain I didn’t drop anything on the circuit board or accidentally bridge a connection, so I have no idea what happened. It could be something simple to fix for someone who knows the circuit side better. Also.. the editing functions MIGHT respond to the PG-300, or the clone of it. I do not own a PG-300 to test this.
The preset sounds still function normally. You just cannot edit them. They do still save when the battery is connected. I removed the
battery and am just letting the synth go as is. I’m saddened by the loss, it was a favorite of mine, so hopefully somebody will
resurrect it’s full functionality and enjoy it. I do not think the sequencer responds as well.
once again.. selling as is. for parts or perfectly functioning presets to be fixed. ”
