Re: [xpantastic] Removing the Encoder caps

2013-03-23 by Omar

if you said the replacments your purchased were just as loud and as ";clicky" as the originals, then I'm telling you they are not the same.

The ones from Syntaur are smoother, quieter, but still have detent. They feel like a modern detented pot like you would find on any modern synthesizer or effects processor today. Smooth, quiet, and easy to turn with detented accuracy.

I´d go for that kit too when in need to replace,- just because it´s complete w/ the rubber rings and debounce caps.

But I think the encoders are the same we ordered from Mouser.
Unfortunately my tech ordered using his paypal account, so I don´t have the part numbers at hand actually.

Compared to the originals, these aren´t inspiring confidence very much.

But when your rotarys are totally worn out, you have no option.

I´d try replacing Schmitt-Triggers 1st, then clean the originals and when it doesn´t help,- then replace.
