Er, that's what I meant by 'ghosting'. Sorry if that wasn't clear... To give you a bit more background... The analogue to digital convertor scanning the P3 pots has an 8 bit range, but only 7 bits are needed at most for midi values. So the original pot scan code prevented ghosting/flickering between adjacent values by only flagging the pot as 'changed' if the 8 bit value moved by 2 steps or more. Once this was divided down to 7 bits, it meant the values can still step by 1. It seems that in some cases a little bit of extra noise pick up somewhere might mean the pot moves enough to trigger a 'change' even though the pot hasn't been moved physically. The updated code now only flags a pot as 'changed' if the value is different from the previous value for 2 scans. This seems to eliminiate extraneous noise pickup. Cheers, Colin f
