Matrix 6 problem

Matrix 6 problem

2011-02-24 by auxbla

Hi,

My Oberheim matrix 6 is having a strange problem every now and then: after a while (after using but also after being idle for a while) it starts outputting MIDI control change #4 (foot controller) with value 0. The result is that any synth or drum machine that I am playing at that moment, or selected in my sequencer, is muted. No output anymore. It is really bursting out this cc, stays outputting it until I switch the matrix 6 off. 

Anyone an idea?

Regards,

Aux

Pursuant to my first guess, I would ask, is there a footpedal connected?
and if so, does it have a dirty pot?

(sorry if that sounds horribly obvious)
