the issue we're referring to here has to do with new encoders, not the 
originals. The replacement kit that Syntaur sells uses a pot that doesn't meet 
the exact specs of the originals. Hence the issue. 


Syntaur has found a new part that does meet the original spec of "1-click per 
value" and I will be testing them soon.
