*       However, DSI offered to replace all the encoders with new
apparently better ones

 

Interesting. Where can I get more info about this offer? All the
encoders on my MEK went wonky after not getting used for a few months. I
figured some dust got inside them (despite the cloth cover) and a bit of
DeOx would clean them.

Subject: [DSI Synths] Re: Potentiometer 'upgrade' --- comments? is it a
good thing?

 

  

I opted not to get the pot "upgrade" as it was too expensive. And, I
also felt that I should not have to pay such an amount of money to
really, in the end, fix a manufacturing issue. I don't have strong
feelings about DSI not offering to replace everyone's encoders that are
bad, but I am leaning towards that i should be something that would have
been nice for them to offer especially in an instrument in this class.

However, DSI offered to replace all the encoders with new apparently
better ones for the cost of $25 a board (there are 3 so $75) plus
shipping. so for about $100 the problem will apparently be solved. they
use a 3rd party to do the work and I understand my boards should be sent
back to me soon. 

I don't really want the pots but having working encoders would be just
great. so i am hoping this fixed the problem. we shall see...
