there is talk here that the problem is not encoders VS. pots , but cheap shortlived encoders versus better quality encoders... encoders get jumpy /pots get scratchy . I dont see how a 3/4 revolution pot will easily allow you to make small adjustments in a 1-128 range--- encoders give you multiple revolutions to do the 1-128 range, but yes, some do get way too sensitive and dont seem to have consistant effect. Does anyone know of a specific HIGH QUALITY line/brand of encoders and their source ?

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
