I recently bought a used Juno 2 on ebay. I used to have one about 20
something years ago that I bought new, so I'm fairly familiar with it,
but this one I just got works fine except for the aftertouch. It
doesn't seem to work on any of the patches. I've looked through the
parameters to see if there is a global on/off for it, but I don't find
such. Is there a way to globally turn on and off aftertouch...or is
there a problem with older Juno 2's where the aftertouch stops working
after some time.

There use to be a file on how to fix the aftertouch which evidently
went out all the time because of the way it is attached to the keyboard.
There were detailed instructions on how to open the unit and fix the cord.

any idea where this file might be found? I've tried google searches
and have turned up nothing.

Looked in my old juno files. There was a message from Kent Williams
(kent.w...@cadsi.com) to ana...@hyperreal.com on Apr 8, 1995 (long
time ago)(not sure where I found the ref. The message was titled
"alpha-juno-2 aftertouch mystery solved. He indicates that the
aftertouch is provided by some sort of pressure sensitive resistor
that's mounted between two strips of felt. When you move your juno it
comes lose from the keyboard. When you open up your unit on the left
side of the keyboard there is a flexable flat membrane cable which will
need to be reseated.

This message is over 15 years old so I don't know if Wiliams is still at
the email address but you might try him.
