it could be that, or if you have an older OS (like the one that comes
burned on the CPU) that might be the problem too... sometime recently,
colin changed how sensitive the knobs are (*snicker* must be all those
knob grab events!). several people were having issues like those you
describe... whatever system read the pot positions was too sensitive, so
subtle variations in the environment could cause the P3 to think you
twiddled something and jump to that step...

upgrade to the most recent OS and see if that solves your problem. if not,
definitely replace the pot.

bleep.
out.
