does anyone know where i can buy the components for it? basically i got in touch with Synth Repair Services in stoke-on-trent and the guy there said he doesn't have the switch in stock, but if i could supply the part he could fit it for me. i've googled and eBayed and can't find anything :( does anyone here know where i might find the right components? please people - i'm desperate, i'm supposed to be working with a band this year and i need my 909, it's the most important part! |

Serves you right for buying old shit. |

i thought the mode-selector switch on my 606 was fucked, so I called the Roland office in Norway and they sent me a new one. it turned out that it wasn't fucked after all, but the moral of this story is: get in touch with Roland, they might be able to help you out |

i once accidentally broke one of the keys on my keyboard, but i just found all the pieces and glued it back together. so, i recommend glue, i guess. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I love glue. In a bag. |

Can't you just take one of the lesser used keys and put it in it's place? Failing that, matchsticks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i use all of the keys, you know it's the step keys 1-16 i need them all to be working :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
matchsticks then. |
||||||||
|
|

it might not need any parts...the LED on the button still works, because it's showing the light.... |
||||||||

|
|
the led works, it's just not doing anything when you press it? remove cover, clean surfaces. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, the LED works it just doesn't trigger any sounds or register that i've pressed it at all i just took the bottom off of it and it was scary i'm too afraid i'm gonna fuck something up in there. i need to get it looked at anyways by this guy at Synth Repair Services, because the snare channel gives some hiss when the tone and snappy are turned up, so i'll ask him to basically give it a good cleaning and once over...hopefully that will fix the problem |

ahh someone from vintagesynth forums suggested this place for my needs....they do seem to have sold the item i need in the past but they are currently out of stock :( i shall try a google search of the model number it shows |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no luck :( i've emailed the person who runs VintagePlanet to ask if they can update me when they receive new stock i'd much rather buy the replacement part just in case it does have to be replaced |

Ask your on/off girlfriend to buy you another 909. |
||||||||
|

can i say lolerzors once |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

what a great idea :D while i'm at it, i'll ask her to buy me an 808, an Electric Blue v3 Minimoog Voyager, and a red SH-101 too |

Who the hell are you going out with, Juan Atkins in a wig? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Try some WD-40. it's probably/peanuts crisps from you or the previous owner. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Classic genius mate :D at least you made me smile during this dilema thanks mate |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Juan is at deaths door at the moment 8 (. but still if he had a blonde wig on... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is he? I didn't know, bloody hell.. sorry Juan, stay strong... umm... here's hoping you're in the "clear". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heheh yeh it's more than likely just dirt and dust or whatever (or at least i'm hoping it is) as i said, i'll ask the Synth Repair guy if he can give it a good clean :D |
||||||||

I wasn't being silly. Salt is a big factor on messing up hardware. The first page on the System 100 is 'don't eat peanuts' it's a great conductor and spoils things. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know you wasn't being silly, but i just had visions of opening it up and finding a bit of Walkers in there mmmmm 10 year old prawn cocktail walkers aromatic |
||||||||

He preached 'clear are the skies'. They are pretty shitty where I am at the moment but Juan is great. |

I know everyone dies but it is sad when a well loved popster pops his disco boots ... Luther Vandross, the bloke out of Chic, Falco... who will be the first IDM martyr? Squarepusher looks a bit portly, combined with his high stress levels he should choose the salad if he's to avoid a premature heartattack and an ignoble "Best of.." |

We're not "on/off". And he's not getting another 909.. he's still making it up to me for that one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
909's are so pretty |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Does he do that thing? ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just got a reply from the VintagePlanet guy and thing's aren't looking too good - he sold his last one about half a year ago and is very unlikely to get any more stock looks like i'll be calling Roland tomorrow...i hope i don't get someone who has no clue what i'm talking about :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, i ended up calling Roland in the UK and the US and still no luck...according to Roland the part has actually been discontinued in Japan, the UK and US. but....i managed to find someone on eBay who is selling a Blue LED replacement kit for a 909 which includes replacement micro-switches for the step-writing buttons. the guy at Synth Repair Services said he can change out the blue LED back to the original red one, so my 909 shall work properly again :D i think it's very foolish that Roland have discontinued production of the part of the drum machine that is most likely to fail...but then again, someone else should be able to step up to the ladder to produce replacement parts :) |
||||||||

You should get your 909 overhauled. I have been hearing about a lot of them stopping working lately. Thats the problem with having vintage gear. It breaks and is hard to repair. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i should get all my stuff overhauled....i'm sure the switchboard on my 303 is a bit dodgy, so when i can afford to get it done i'll try and get all my gear sorted out |
||||||||
|

am gonna be mainly restricted to 16 steps per bar (at least for drums, unless you count the 32 steps that the MachineDrum has but then that will only be used for quick hits). which means there will be only a few genres of music that i can stick to while using this equipment. or until i can figure another way to do stuff. techno rave trance braindance electro aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aaaaaaaaaa indeed |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

old school electro. You have the perfect setup for it. If, by this time next week, you have not made a song that has every hot girl in miami shaking their asses, I am going to send people! (You should also look at getting your 303 modded for full midi implementation) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Go here and ask. One of them might even have one lying around. Seriously, best place I know for such advice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

my 303 has the 5 port Kenton kit, so all i need to buy is either the Kenton Pro-Solo or the Kenton Pro2000 and i can trigger by MIDI. i've got my eyes set on the Pro2000 though so then i can do more with it, and trigger my 202 through it also :) thanks for the link mate, i'll check it out. and i'll try to get something down onto tape |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you're getting your 303 overhauled, may I suggest going with the ultra-303 project. It's very good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that does indeed look very cool, but i'd be more than a little anxious to have the brain replaced! i would totally consider it if i had a second 303 i'll have to have a think about it mate, thanks :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hehe, understandable. But it'll do miracles! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the idea is great....seems to have taken a leaf from the ReBirth 303's, where you had an LCD readout except it's been taken a step further with this mod... not to mention the MIDI implementation :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There's lots more of great new functions too :) |

I need the owner manual of a MC 50 can u help me? and i sell a roland d50 uh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Make a new account and try to find it . My regular resources didn't have any information, but normally, when you are trying to find manuals, there are two great websites for it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i LOVE you Taxidermist,i got the manual now i can SEQUENce thanks FROM spAIN;o) ***I HOPE GOT LUCK WITH YOUR 7 KEY oscillik from analog city |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thank you very much :) hopefully my 909 will be up and running perfectly within a couple of months |
||||||||
|

If its any consolation, you could just try to avoid sequencing a beat there... Its a pretty useless place to have a beat (unless you plan on using it for a hihat, or a fill). |
