clusterchord Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 -my MPG80 programmer works quite well, but few of the sliders run less smoothly, with varied resistance, making it more difficult to do nice sweeps. It's like they have dirt inside or something. Altough i've been fixing keys and pwr supplies on synths before, i have no experience with sliders. How can i clean them or anyhow make them slide smoother? any ideas? experiences? -question for people who are familiar with Super Jupiter and DIYers: in difference from JP-6 , the MKS80 features a lo-boost circuit before the second VCA, something like a lo-shelf <200Hz. Is it possible to bypass this circuit in any way. to make it less bass-heavy, more like jp6/8. I kind of dislike the fact that all my sounds are being coloured by default with a lo-shelving eq. I wish i could have a choice in this, like a manual switch or something. I'm aware that since this is a polyphonic synth /eight voice cards/ and that it's programmable as well, complicates things quite a bit... thx. http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/grinser/grinning-smiley-009.gif http://www.babic.com - music for film/theatre, audio-post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolColJ Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Maybe a Contact cleaner with inbuilt lubricant should do the trick. I think there is something callec TV tuner cleaner or something I read from a synth restorer who uses it. From memory setting the Highpass filter around 43 or 47, can't remeber exactly, is about where it's bypassed as far as tone goes The Junos do the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory setting the Highpass filter around 43 or 47, can't remeber exactly, is about where it's bypassed as far as tone goes i did that, but its an aproximation; either you get a too thin sound placing it too high, or you set it lower , and get a bump arround 100-200Hz. Lo Shelving (<200Hz) and highpass filter can't defeat each other exactly. btw, thanks for your recent submissions on the KSS demo thread. http://www.babic.com - music for film/theatre, audio-post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolColJ Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Usually a squirt with a nozzle into the sliders should do the trick, and then work em up and down etc Use another synth for reference, and get the sawtooth and tweak the highpass till they sound the same.
