- In this episode, we install the Kiwi-3p mod in the Roland Jx3p. This covers the full procedure start to finish including final DCO calibration.
Thank you for this. I’m planning to install the Kiwi 3P Matrix into mine soon. Just wondering, what diameter solder are you using?
Great video. I have the KIWI mod for my JX-8P but have held off as it seems at least anecdotally that these mods alter the signature sound of the synths. Sure they may sound great but different.Personally I am now coming over to the view that just buying a new synth is the answer if I need new features.
I'm knee deep in trying to mod my 3P with the Kiwi mod and it isn't going well. I don't think I've broken anything, but, as I got into the weeds of the main board there were so many odd little modifications and I'm starting to think it was all to avoid problems with grounding. Since I decided to take the risk and jump in as a novice with some soldering skills, I knew there was a possibility I'd be in over my head. I'd definitely say that just buying a new synth is the smarter idea. As for me, I'll keep working on it until I get it working. I may end up just trying to fulling return it to original specs rather than doing the mod.
I’ve heard from people like Espen Kroft that the kiwi mod “ruins” the sound of the 3p by changing its envelopes, making it more clinical and less characterful. Do you have an opinion? Any chance you could do pinpoint a comparison of a kiwi to a stock jx-3p?
Great video! Thanks. I just did this mod for a client of mine, unfortunately now there is no sound coming out. I am not a synth guy at all so I don't know much about MIDI, however I am an audio technician and work on a lot of audio gear. This is the second mod I have done for this particular client, the first one worked great but this one not so much. I double checked my work and everything seems to be fine. The intel chip came out very easily so I don't think there are any damaged traces. The synth powers up and the LEDs come on, the buttons are doing things but i am not getting any audio. I am listening out of the headphone output because I don't have a speaker set up here. Do you have any suggestions? I'm kind of in a pickle here.
Thanks
Great vid. When soldering in the socket, how did you verify that the top layer pads flowed?
Thanks Sandro. Great question, when soldering 2 sided boards you’ll notice that you first melt a blob of solder onto the pad. I keep the iron it it for a second or 2, then the bubble will get sucked down through the pad to the other side. Every time you’ll see the blob go down. When flipping over and looking carefully at the socket you will see a nice solder joint at each pin. With good practice it’s very consistent.
does this update ads pulse width modulation!
Please stop butchering these amazing synths with the Kiwi mod, use the Organix/series circuits mod to fix the MIDI instead.
This mod ruins the Jx-3p sound signature, sounds good but would rather have it sound like a jx-3p still. I am not sure if the new Kiwi matrix mod they came out with you can maintain the original sound.
I have heard that as well. I prefer it to sound like a jx3p as well hence why I said I kept my original unit the same and used the organix mod to improve midi functionality. This was done for a customer.
@@synthdoctor3310 I wonder if there new kiwi matrix mod can retain the stock sound but have the ability to do more if wanted.
please explain ruins sound signature
what do you charge for this mod?
