1) This has happened to me twice already and is really
just annoying instead of being a problem. So I've
loaded some soundsets into my JP and if I leave it
powered off for a few days the memory will reset to
the factory presets. Of course I can just spend 2
minutes and reload the sounds back in, but it just
makes zero sense that it's even doing this. Does
anyone know what's going on with my JP8000?

2) I'm about to buy a soundset that is a performance-bank. It says that it will not overwrite my patch-banks that I have loaded up and was wondering exactly how this worked. Does that mean that I'll have my 128 patches in addition to the new patches that make up the performance bank? Or would the performance bank be completely separate from the patch-banks that I have loaded in my JP?

1. Maybe the memory battery is dead or dying......I've never had this problem though, your JP may be older than mine was.

2. The performance bank will not write over your patch-bank 1 or 2, it is totally seperate.

1. ok, that really sucks.

2. so does that mean the performance bank is made up of different patches than the patch banks i have loaded?

I'm not gonna get technical about it, but if you are gonna buy a performance bank from somewhere and you are gonna load it via WinJP from your pc then basically it will not overwrite your preset banks 1 + 2.... believe me ! As long as the performance-bank is in .pat format it will be fine.

BTW if your planning on buying ANY JP8000 banks....PM me before you shed out your cash!!!!!!!!!!
