Hi guys. Long time no see. Anyway I'm interested in the J50. What I need to do, and can't find in the J80 owner's manual, is disable sustain pedal for a tone or a live set. This is because I need to play bass from the lo...

Wow, I feel like a VIP. This thread I started a while ago is still near the top of the list w/ over 100 replies. Anyway I'm still interested in the Jup. I can handle the synth keyboard if it feels solid. Definitely gonna...
