Hi @LUMA,
Do you still have the CNTRL R by any chance?

I’m on the fence about selling them since they’re awesome controllers, but I’m considering it. As I’m getting them ready for sale, I’m finding that the endless encoders on the white CNTRL:R I have seem to continuously output value when turning them all the way in either direction. Rather than stopping at 0 or 127 as I turn the knob, the midi monitor values will jump between 0 – 1 – 4 – 0 if I continue turning the encoder, and similar on the high side. 127-123-120-125-127. It’s just a bit jumpy / “touchy”, if I move them very slowly they seem to climb through the values normally, but do bounce around the bottom / top if continuing the turn, if that makes sense.

> So some d-bag dumped a full beer onto my CNTRL:R during a gig. After they stopped making them, of course. I’m not crafty enough to take that thing apart, diagnose, come up with parts and actually repair it. But where is Livid? My emails bounce back. The website is there. I would love to buy a new one or give them my money to fix my CNTRL:R. I would love to buy a DS1. I have tons of Brain Jr. and Brain v2 stuff I want to finish, but without the thriving community of makers, I am kinda lost. I feel like I got into this brand at the end, collected all I could and now I am just stuck with a bunch of stuff and parts I can’t fix or use until they are fixed. I LOVED that CNTRL:R. We were UNSTOPPABLE. All ruined with one elbow of one a-hole.

>Spaker, do you still have the brain V2 stuff? What stuff is it exactly? Would love to talk more!
ZodiacsoundzMemberThat’s okay, sorry to annoying you while you are on your vacation! No worries, I have sent you an email. Enjoy your holiday!
ZodiacsoundzMemberOkay awesome, yeah I sure am. Do you have an email where I can send you what I am trying to do and photos etc?
ZodiacsoundzMemberDo you do custom work for midi controllers? I am happy to pay.
ZodiacsoundzMemberYup, I got a custom controller made already but I am having issues with the step sequencer syncing to ableton tempo as it’s on a UNTZtrument trellis and apparently it requires a lot of work to get it to work so was thinking a livid brain could work. Do you know much about coding C++ at all?
ZodiacsoundzMemberOh really? Because I was wanting to possibly create a custom controller using a livid brain v2 but can’t seem to find them anywhere. I have access to buy a CNTRL R though which isn’t a bad idea.
ZodiacsoundzMemberSorry just realised I posted this in scripts not in general. Whoops!
