Keysguy Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Maybe some of you already know of this but I just ran across on the Facebook Roland BK7M users group page. Someone was looking for a replacement for the selection/jog wheel on the unit. It is also on others units such as my BK9. Someome commented that this is a common problem as the wheel was not meant for heavy use. ( From now on I will use my IPAD App for the BK for editing ) Instrumentalparts.com has the wheel and parts for many other keyboards of all brands. Good to know. I'm going to buy a jog wheel just because $20 is a cheap piece of mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxcvbnm098 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I'd never heard of them, but it looks like they have a good stock of many parts...thanks for the heads up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markyboard Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Scoured their pages many times but don"t recall buying from them. Here are some other sources for future reference: CAE Wine Country (for Sequential Circuits) Syntaur Synthchaser Vintage Vibe Parts is Parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real MC Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 The problem with that instrumentalparts.com website is they list parts that are out of stock but they webpages do not tell you that. I found that out when attempting to order circuit boards for the Alesis Andromeda. A real PITA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keysguy Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 But if you read the info it says they have sources to get listed parts not in stock. Maybe they have contacts regular people don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldwin Funster Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 So here's a thing. I ordered a spare jdxi keybed because these are notoriously flimsy and break often, some say. I ordered it back in maybe april and was told Roland was all shut down and was not filling orders. The company instrumentalparts.com, offered a refund. I said keep the money and ship when Roland was back up. Then I half forgot about it and figured it would ship eventually or at least I was helping some vendor survive. Cause I'm like that. I got an email today saying it shipped. The thing is I found another jdxi keybed a few weeks later and got it. So now I have 2 so I can pound the boogers out of it now. My point is Roland is out of crises apparently and kudos to instrumentalparts.com for shipping a stale order. End. Quote FunMachine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
