Welcome LUMA,

I think for the encoders, I was told that contact cleaner (or, preferably, de-oxit) is the way to go…..I always had a bit of trouble getting that into the stem though. Might also be a component leaking voltage somewhere, causing the issue.

It’s a shame to let things go, but I understand….I have a lot of controllers I don’t use. On the other hand, my workflow is always changing, so I often find myself going back to old hardware and controllers that I haven’t used in a while and finding new, fresh uses for them

Yeah. This place is dope.

Isopropyl Alcohol. But….
If that isn’t it? I have a bunch of NOS (New Old Stock) Livid Push Encoders. How many are we talking here? three or thirteen?

I’d love an ohm, but I can’t. If you had a DS1, I wouldn’t be able to resist.

Good luck. Let me know if the cleaning of the contacts did anything, and if you need a small amount of encoders, I might be willing to part with a couple.

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.
