Have been searching everywhere and I can't seem to find replacement knobs for the SP-303 online. I bought one used, and it's missing the main volume knob.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hit up Roland support. They were able to send me one.

Only if you had set it to more than 9 V.

Check the card reader for bent pins. Also try another power supply. Btw, what are the exact specs of the power supply you are using?

You could send it to Roland to have it fixed. Or you could open it up and look for loose connections, broken components and dry/broken solder joints...

What are the specs of the power supply?

Well, the Sampletrak uses a 300mA power supply whereas the SP-303 needs one with 1000mA...

when I try to run midi from maschine to the 555, turn on the midi thru, the 404 doesn't pick it up.

Just copy them back...

Care to elaborate?

Can´t find any information regarding an 1.03 update. The Roland website states that 1.02 is the latest OS for the 303...

The latest OS for the 303 is 1.02. This OS is from 2001, so it is hardly new.

I bet your 303 already runs 1.02. However, installation of 1.02 is straightforward and shouldn´t break anything. At least it didn´t on my machine...
