ah okay.
I am not living in the us, so no radio shack available but good to hear that they are standard so I can say to my gearman of choice he just have to put in some new potis without having him to hunt down original roland ones, right?

yeah, no special roland potis...

Your gearman (sounds like an action hero) should have no probs with those...
