Jupiter 6 Resonance control dead...

[Jeffrey Lee]

My studio's been dismantled for the last 6 months while I moved and
renovated. Now getting set up again and started noodling with my Europa
upgraded JP6 and noticed that the resonance slider does nothing, no matter
the patch or filter mode setting.  Like, no modification to the sound
whatsoever, completely independent of the filter cut off setting as well
(and all filter mods pulled down to zero).

Everything else seems fine.  Seems pretty weird to me.  Just want to make
sure I'm not being a rusty dumbass and forgetting something before I send
this off to my tech.

Anyone else experience this problem or have any advice?

Cheers,

Ok, I forgot to do one obvious test: with the Europa mod I can control the
resonance by MIDI CC and this turns out to be the case. So the resonance
itself is fine, just the control from the panel-top slider pot.

I suppose replacing the slider would do the trick, but I'm not used to
slider pots just going from working 100% to completely failing.  Hopefully
this is the case.

Again, any advice or suggestions from anyone would be most appreciated!

Hi Jeffrey

I had a JP6 on my work bench which showed the same behaviour but with
Decay of Env-1.

Indeed the slider itself was broken; even when I selected a stored
patch, the broken slider immediately overwrote the stored parameter
value as if I had moved the slider. Replacing the slider solved the
problem (in fact I replaced all the sliders and potentiometers, which
made the JP6 feel more solid even than new - documentation see
http://fa.utfs.org/diy/rolandjp6/restoration/)
