Hi, 

I seem to having trouble with my MD knobs, they don't seem to 
be 'catching' very well at the moment, i mean, if 
i'm turning 'knob C' the values don't increment correctly, 
sometimes they even go backwards or just get stuck, 
it's the same for the tempo knob, alot of the time the tempo goes 
backwards when turning it clockwise, it gets 
worse the faster you turn the knobs. i'm wondering if this has 
happened to anybody else and if there's an easy fix for this, are 
the knobs dirty underneath 
and just need cleaning? I am playing out in smokey clubs alot 
and wondering whether this is damaging the 
knobs. 

Any quick help would be greatly appreciated as i'm playing an 
important gig this weekend and would dearly love 
to have this fixed ASAP.

Thanks,
Steve.

Sounds serious, maybe its the alcohol too.  Just kidding.  The smoke 
can be damaging.
