Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

sound like dexoit time! when they are skippin etc contact dsi and the 
send a small tube
i had it horrible(not reaction, skippen or reacting only in one way on a 
dozen knobs) on my mek and waited too long(it got worse), so more 
frustration, but since i dexoit them they work better than i got the mek 
new, if you haven't don it, do it it can help, dexoit is may more safe 
than contactspray. i have way less problem, frustration about the 
encoders now, only see pots handy for the filter and envelopes for the 
rest i don't see advantage above encoders.
