A different Fix for encoder skipping on the SX can be found here http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=74154 Basically you need to disassemble the encoder and clean the silicon off the rotor. Looking at the picture in a previous post above, you can see the gray metal housing of the ...

I'm posting this in a new thread since some may miss it in the old thread. The SX Effects Encoder Skipping Problem is Fixable: The problem is caused by silicon lubricant inside the encoder that drifts onto the contact area. The encoder can be disassembled and cleaned, but you need to be real careful ...

The Problem is Fixable: The problem is caused by silicon lubricant inside the encoder that drifts onto the contact area. The encoder can be disassembled and cleaned, but you need to be real careful not to mess up/bend the spring contacts. No soldering is required. This worked for me, but I can make ...

Thanks for all the comments. Rotary encoders are quadrature switches. They are two switches that open and close as the rotor is turned, but not at the same time so they create ovelapping pulses with a 90 degree phase relationship. By looking at the pulses you can tell in which direction the knob is ...

The dial on my SX skips. Anyone know how to fix this issue? I have a bunch of dumb questions. Is this a rotary encoder (I expect it is)? Is it optical or contacts? Does contact cleaner help? Are there connectors (like ribbon cables) that get dirty? Does it make sense to open it up and reseat ...
