Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Encoders, a commonly used component in many synths, can be cleaned and/or replaced.  One does not need to replace a whole unit or synth due to one erratic encoder.  There are cleaners that are good and cleaners to be avoided for encoders....but I don't know which to advise for you....if there is no past message in the message archive with a successfully cleaning, also can search the Emu Command Station, Yamaha A4000 or Emu P2K, or others that use encoders with "jumping" problems....

So when I scross right to left, the pan will move eratically, and in fact sometimes make small movements in the opposite direction. The acceleration on it is also messed up, and it is impossible to make an entire sweet with one quick twist.
