Roland JP-8000 Repair No / Low Audio Output

How to repair the Roland JP-8000 that has low audio or no audio output. Very common problem that will impact every JP-8000 made.
This is a Japanese model that I also convert from 100V to 120V use.

i've watched many hundreds of tech-repair vids like this, and yours is without a doubt, among the best of them! Straight to the point, showing your errors, covering so many points, and i've had a JP-8000 (and a JD-800) for over 10 yrs and still learned a bunch from you, so thanks!!! i bought a bunch of the buttons for them because the previous owner pushed them all so hard they failed/caved in. where are you in case i need help repairing this thing?!?!? thanks for the great vid. i just subscribed and rang the bell. ...cheers

Thanks for making these videos. I love 90s synths and fx processors and these videos are giving me more confidence in the gear that I have and the gear that I want to have but didn't/don't want the troubles.

[@MacG33k]

Thank you, thank you and thank you again for this video. Mine showed the exact same problems and because of your careful and thorough explanation, I’ve been able to repair my pride and joy to full output and save a couple of buttons too!

Great video!!!! Could you share the digikey part numbers and quantity of caps for the main board repair. I'm having a similar issue.

[@claudioguarido6915]

so many thanks. Today I've found out EXACTLY the same problems you'd shown here. I hope I can found a good service to make the repairing and don't need to sell my car to afford it.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! This helped tremendously. And also thnx for showing the love for this great hotrod board talking about its versatility.

[@tekalfb466]

thanks for the video. Replacing C219 solved the low level distorted outputs on y JP8000.

[@Psychlist1972]

This is super helpful. The ones on ebay with "low audio output" go for around one-third to one-half the price. Most are from Japan as well, so knowing that you don't need to replace the transformer to do an internal conversion is a huge help. Thank you for posting!

[@Maschinestorm]

Good to see someone with electronics knowledge keeping these going. Don't forget to DeoxIT the faders and potentiometers. The ribbons are also known to go bad, the Test Mode [Hold OSC2 Sync + -12db/24db + Filter Type] can recalibrate the unit. I purchased an OLED display formy 8080, looks real nice and sharp. My first 8000 was in 2003, started automatically adjusting parameters. There is a filter issue that can be solved by adjusting attack slightly on patches. Wish Roland and Panasonic collab'd more back then.

[@scanner2350]

My JP8000 started with low distorted sound and then would start to get loud as it warmed up and a few minutes later the sound would be ok. Now it has no sound at all and I always suspected a bad capacitor. Now this video confirmed what I suspected. Thanks!

Thanks for this video. It worked perfectly on my JP-8000. A lot of people ask the same question, what caps do I buy and where? My choice was to go to Mouser and I bought 19 Panasonic 10 uf 16V type FC SMD caps, 1 Panasonic 22 uf 16V type FC SMD cap and one Panasonic 100 uf, 6.3V Type FC SMD cap. All were as suggested, 105c max temperature. And I used the solder iron, heat one side and rock, heat the other side and rock, method of removing the old caps. In about 20% of the cases I had to add a little solder to the pad to get the new one to take.

[@smacktreats]

Hey, I know this was a while ago, but I’m using mouser to get same parts , does the milliamperes matter, which ma did you pick

[@markustg09]

@@smacktreats So volts matter to be sure, so where it says 16V go with 16 volts etc. etc. and of course the same for uf. uF refers to the size of the capacitor It means microfarads follow this parts list type if not brand, exactly : 19 Panasonic 10 uf 16V type FC SMD caps, 1 Panasonic 22 uf 16V type FC SMD cap and one Panasonic 100 uf, 6.3V Type FC SMD cap. All were as suggested, 105c max temperature.

Good morning Brad. Can you send me the link to the actual capacitors to purchase for this unit or the actual model numbers@@bradthx

[@wedream2]

Great video! I envy your knowledge. I purchased a JP8000 advertised as working perfectly, but far from it. The volume was low and intermittent. I followed the testing procedure recommended in the service manual and found a bad pot in the amp section. I had to remove all the boards to get down to the control board and replaced the pot and it worked fine after that. Didn't know about replacing the capacitors, but luckily that wasn't the acute problem. It really is a great synth.

[@NeuronalAxon]

Cool - how much was it, and when was that?

thank u mate thank u thank u thank u!! I got my JP-8000 at 2009 from Florida (ebay) and my friend brought it to me here in Moscow. Someday I saw some keys stick and someday device has gone (obviously the problem is you described). I disassembled my 8000 friend but I cant did nothing, I just watched the boads and the boards silently watched me)) now because of you mate I know what to do- I'll burn em all!

Your video is going to help me a ton on refreshing my JP8080. Much thanks for this. I have noise coming out of the audio outs when power is plugged in but unit is turned off. Do you know what could be causing that and what parts I should look at replacing?

[@Teledyski_XDVISIONS]

I tried to follow you advice but all capactiors in the audio route seem to work properly . In my JV80 all the three left hand side sliders appeared to be damaged and indicating much different resitance and also incorrect for both channels. That incudes violume, presence, and C1. So first of all I would try to check the sliders. I need ot replace all three and recheck.

[@bzhmaddog]

I fixed one recently by replacing C217 and C219 and didn't have to touch the ones near the dac. Which is weird to me because they are near the power input so I wonder what impact it could have on audio (beside not providing enough juice to the chips on the board).

[@justbrilliant14]

Hey Brad, good video, thanks. Ive replaced the caps on digi and I/O boards. Ive got audio as far as the op amp IC4a/b, but no output from this. Thought id check the voltage rails and im getting +18 and-14...would these values be 'out' enough from the +/-15 stated by Roland to stop the op amp working? ...im just trying to figure chasing the power supply issue....or changing the Op amp ic? cheers.

Hi, the MIDI in on my JP-8000 does not work. I've traced the signal with a scope right to the serial input of the main CPU and the signal is absolutely fine. I've even replaced the optocoupler and the hex inverter but still no luck. Everything else works perfectly fine (including the MIDI out) so I'm running out of options what I could try next. Any ideas?

[@LeandroSantos-jv4ex]

Hi Brad, I had a Roland JP 8000 with low and distorted audio output, I did the same procedure as your video and it was perfect, and after a few hours on it starts to generate a super distorted sound and only returns to normal when cools down, I did the audio path and saw that the distorted sound starts at the input of the IC22 that is connected to the DAC IC20, do you think the DAC may have problems that only appear when it heats up?

Great video! I am trying to revive my old JP-8000 and came across the same issue. As a newby with this type of repairs, knowing the digikey part number would be super helpful. I found PCE4023CT-ND on their site. Is it the one you used?

[@bradthx]

That is the correct series that I used. I order a lot of parts and don't remember specific values, once you open the synth the caps are labeled with the appropriate values and voltages making them easy to find with Digikey's parametric search. There were three of four different values needed.

[@andreasbauer6652]

Hi brad, can you move the transformer Tap on the jp 8080 as well? (Rackmount version of this synth). I was looking at a Japanese unit but I’m based in the US. Thanks!

[@bradthx]

Hey Ronnie, the JP-8080 uses a smaller switching power supply, it does not have the transformer taps you see on the JP-8000 and many other Roland synths of this era. But the good news is I don't believe it needs a voltage conversion as as result, it should work on any region voltage from 100V to 240V. The label on the bottom should state this.

[@RonnieAugeri]

@@bradthx Thanks for the info! also great video, I never knew those polymer capacitors would go bad. Normally the tantylum caps in the older analog gear are the first to go. Great video.

I am about to get a good condition Roland jp 8000. It has the well known low level/no sound from the outputs issue, the synth freezes while you use the mod wheel and all the bottom screen buttons are busted, stacked in their holes so they need to be replaced/serviced. All others work. Also there is a distorted/noisy signal only from the phones jack - this has to to with the well known caps problem on this synth - also it has a couble of burned keys and the chassis under these keys is burnt too. Does it worth it with the prices raising on this synth the 100 euros he is asking ?

[@el_micha]

So you think it is in good condition? Sounds like a lot of issues…

[@virgillesterlin]

I bought this keyboard from a Berlin group a few years ago in 2013, I believe, when I received it from the post office via France, it made noise, and the internal card was destroyed, I re-soldered it with many electrical wires and reattached with chemical hardener glue, given its external condition I have since sold it!! ebay sometimes sells quite a few wrecks!!

[@synthartist69]

I have this problem on my Roland JV80.. 1992 model. The headphones out works fine but the left/right audio out is low.. about half of what it should be. Can I send you the board itself to have it recapped.. that is if you believe that is the issue?

[@qabalah78]

Does anyone know how to actually do the change in voltage to 240v?? It's clearly not just a wire change like Brad did. Brad talks about how much work it is or that it's probably a different power board altogether after the transformer. Shame. Would like to find out. Can't see anything online atm.

I assume there is a different board in front of he transformer. The components would need to stand up to 240 volts. Also the power board after the transformer might be different - depending on what voltages the transformer gives out on the secondary side.
