You can download the service manual from here: http://manuals.fdiskc.com/flat/Rolan...e%20Manual.pdf

There is a way to get it to "display" which voice is playing but the pdf is taking a while to download so I won't be able to tell right away... heading out. (EDIT: Press the PIANO 2 and 3 tone buttons while turning the JX-8P on to enter test mode. The voice being played is indicated by the Solo, Unison, Poly, Volume, Brilliance, and Vibrato LEDs corresponding to voices A, B, C, D, E, F respectively.)

As for the membrane buttons, they are actually tactile switches beneath the membrane. You would have to take the panel apart and replace the failing buttons.

He did use the OBXa on Jump but I believe 1984 was a Roland JX3P. - posted on Youtube
