Ok, I just got off the phone with the head tech at Roland. He does not advise switching the keys between the two boards and confirmed that it could create issues. Just bought a JV1000 off of reverb. Problem solved! ð

very cool site, thanks for sharingâ¦.a bit costly and as others have mentioned, no guarantee that the keys are interchangeable. I put a call into Roland for verification.â¦we shall see.

please send us a pic of the underside of your JV90 with the key weights. again, the JV90 did not come with weights, it was a synth action board, not a semi weighted board, so if your JV90 has weights, the owner before you did a mod.

Too challenging for me! haha,

Thanks Eric, I think I"m going to take a pass. I"m now looking at a JV1000. I"ll have to remove the adhesive again, but I have a soft spot for this keyboard and the JV80.

No worries, I thought the same until I kept asking people to send me pics of the weights on the underside to see if the glue was coming out, and they were like 'what weights?' I wonder if JV80 weights would work.

I picked up a DP10 yesterday and it works great. Thanks.

Nope, the JV90 is most definitely not just 'the 76 note version of the JV80â¦' The JV80 and JV1000 were both semi weighted The JV90 is just synth actionâ¦no weights. I"ve seen three JV90s now and none of them had weights underneath.

Last year, I spent the money having a roland tech remove the red glue on my beloved JV80 and re-gluing the weights with a proper adhesive. There is a nice condition JV90 near meâ¦.wondering, if the weights for the JV80 are still available from Roland, would it be possible to secure those weights to the JV90 thereby turning it from a synth action keyboard into a semi weighted keyboard? There was someone on this forum years ago who claimed to have done it but I couldn"t find the thread.

Thanks, hugely appreciated. ð

thanks, going to edit my OP 'What was the model number of whatever was considered Roland"s standard damper pedal back in the early 90s.'

Ironically, the second I got a day job and quit taking gigs I did not enjoy playing was the precise moment my career really took off, resulting in having to quit my day job. People can feel when you're truly passionate versus going through the motions. Hard to sell your inner talent if just being on stage is a personal struggle.

I actually had the immense privilege of meeting Ray back in the 90s, and coincidentally the first question I asked him when we got to chatting was why he didin"t play B3 from the get go. He mentioned the schlep factor was one consideration, but of equal consideration was a local B3 player who used to play the strip, and for the life of me I can"t remember the name Ray dropped. Ray, being the humble gentlemen that he was, admitted that he and other keyboard players hanging around the strip in those days were pretty much too intimidated to play B3 as this local cat was just too good. Wish I could remember the guy"s name! When I think about the conversation, it may have been Jimmy Smith, but that was a while back... Regardless, Ray definitely seemed to convey that proper B3 playing was just not his bag. There were no clones in those days. Either you could afford a B3, knew how to play and maintain it, (and were prepared to shlep it), or you simply opted for a combo. Personally, I understood much later that Ray was primarily a piano player at heart, and like most of us who trained on piano, you realize that the B3 is it"s own thing. I totally get why he primarily played the combo. Lots of players preferred it in that era, and through subsequent eras. Auggie Meyer, Alan Price, Steve Nieve, etc. The Hammond is not everyone"s bag. In my biased personal view, Ray is #1. â¤ï¸ Love everything about him. So unique. So original. Unafraid to be himself. Love that he never anglicized his Polish last name. Love how he juxtaposed his south-side musical influences with baroque counterpoint. Love how he rocked the piano bass while soloing. Love his humble, gentlemanly demeanour. Love how later on, John Doe and X and all of the west coast punks dug Ray. Ray"s my man. Wish he was still with us.

I was so devoted to Jeopardy for a while that I absolutely refused to answer my phone between 7:00-7:30 (EST) RIP Alex.

Totally...I get it though. Reharms are fun, but it"s better to just write your own tune. Here"s the thing, not everyone can write a melody, and that is where I have an axe to grind. No worries if you can"t write a good melody, but please leave Mr. Mancini alone! ð If I have to hear another 'hip' reharm of moon river, I think I"m going to scream!

this...can"t stand 'esoteric' artists trying so hard to be hip it hurts...hipness is a disease. Brad Meldhau"s version of 'smell"s like teen spirit' sounds not even in the same galaxy as the original on any level...not sure what he was thinking calling it that...just call it your own tune, but of course, nobody would ever buy the record, or check it out other than the 0.001% of the record buying population who like to show people how clever they are via their musical tastes. (FYI I am a huge, huge Brad fan, he may be my favourite jazz pianist of all time, but I never understood why he just did not call his pop takes original tunes, on some of them he does not even try to play the melody.) Viewing hip reharms and outside playing as somehow being of a 'higher' level of musical ability is a questionable assertion. Playing an instrumental that sticks exactly to the melody is no joke, try it and post your efforts if you think it"s so easy. Once you get reharmonization and outside playing, it is actually considerably easier to do an outside version of a pop tune than it is to do a convincing take that stays true to the original. Here is a master doing a masterful take that stays true to the original: [video:youtube]

self control is not everyone"s strongest quality, kinda like how I"m having to exert self control right now to not react to you choosing to start your reply with the word 'No,'

It"s a funny video, but posting it at this incredibly tense time, and then saying you don"t want it to get nuked is like me taking my kids to a candy store and telling them 'we"re just here to look', and then getting frustrated at them when they start whining.
