hi there, i got a jupiter 8 in my mailbox today and i have a questionfor you
guys.
there are some keys, notably the Bb 4 that sometimes do and sometimes dont
produce any sound even when played as the only note, so no chords no
sustains on the other notes. it only produces a short decay on "on" and
"off" messages. (pressing and lifting the key) very strange......
does anyone have any experience with this ?
the lfo modulation button in the lower left corner doesnt seems to do
anything, is there something obvious going on and am i missing it or am i
being scamed ?
let me know , david

Hi,

I can't comment on the keyboard difficulties, but the LFO mod button was 
something that eluded two different techs who worked on mine.  Some people 
just don't use that function very often and so don't notice that there's 
something not working (which was the case with me!).  Since I didn't note it

come service time (count on every 2 or 3 years), they didn't address it.  
Then I brought it to Rogue NYC for an overhaul and et voila, it came back 
working just dandy.  Neat stuff if your into slidey/whirly expressive 
playing.  Try fooling with all possible settings on the left hand
controllers 
before concluding there's something not working.  If it is working, it
should 
seem pretty obvious.
