I agree, Dave...having to use the button isn't the most elegant way of adding modulation.
I was fortunate in getting a later model JP-8 which is equipped with the very rare MD-8 midi interface, so I can use a controller to access the Jupiter's mod.
The track ball thing sounds interesting...a friend of mine had a Bachman keyboard...almost a digital piano, that had something like that for control.
