For some reason my andromeda has gotten kind of flaky - the up and down arrow buttons don't always work, and sometimes the screen will randomly jump to the oscillator 1 page, especially when paging up and down through presets using the arrow keys. Has anybody here had that problem or maybe know what's going on or how I can debug what is happening?

Ah, starting it up in diagnostic mode (holding down button 2, I see that the OSc 1 semitone pot is jittering - I'm not necessarily the most electronically inclined - is there a place I can take my a6 for repair near Austin, TX?

I was about to say that flickering and weird behavior is caused by bad pots (which the knobs turn). In my case, it was the mod pot. Try to ensure that it is the Osc1 pot and not a side-effect from some other pot, by disconnecting it and checking if you still get the flicker. If identified, have you tried using an air-pressure cleaner? The kind that comes in a can? Hopefully cleaning it, etc. should fix it. -Ra --- In Andromeda_A6-ION@yahoogroups.com, Michael Hale <giftculture@...> wrote:
