Re: [DSI Synths] Digest Number 1744

2009-12-19 by X + Z = 0

it are encoders (not pots), and when the go jumpy or not reacting it 
isn't very much logical (it isn't the same in every patch etc) kind like 
a virus
it doesn't come better with using more, it getss worse, more knobs will 
follow, its not the same than a scratchy pot
dexoit helped me for 3 months without a problem, but last time i went 
playing a show,when i put on it got those encoders problemes again with 
one knob not reacting
i hope the pot edition for the mek will solve these problems for good
