The Auto-Edit Syndrome

125 sliders and buttons are a invitation to dust and the JD-800 is very sensible to that!

Your JD-800 appears to "edit" the patches alone like a ghost inside?

You see that two point near the patch number flashing alone? 

The values and the parameters change without your desire?

Donīt panic! 

This is because dust have gone inside the sliders and buttons panel and need a cleanup.

 

What to do: 

1) A temporary aproach, is block this just pressing Edit and turning off the Tones selected to real time editing as show next.

2) Send it to the Roland Service to a cleanup or do by yourself at your own risk. 

 

Important: 

The auto-edit does not affect saved patches, only the current patch. When reloaded, you have the original saved patch.

Press Layer->Active to enter the Active Tone Edit. 

In this example, you will note no tones are allowed to edit.

Select the Tones you want to allow editing. Each one will flash the led.

 

Important:

To prevent a misuse, I strongly sugest you disable all tones and save the patch as the usual mode.

The JD-800 save this configuration, so if you want to do real-time changes to your patch, just select what tones you will be changing live and  

You will see an arrow ">" sign left side of the selected tone.

 

In this sample, we have a parameter changing, TVA Level.

To asure this parameter have some persistent dust, just move the slider or button. This can remove the dust for a while. 
You can use the Compare Button to verify the original value of the parameter. 
I use to clean in a very basic way my machine, the best still is to keep it away from dust, and send it to technical service when possible.
