A desperate cry for help: pot / wheel problems.
Posted: Tue Sep 20, 2011 6:53 am
Well, I've had my R3 for a year now: great little machine. For a number of reasons, I have had it sitting up right in a padded bag, in my room and away from magnetic fields (just like the manual says).
I have re-incorporated it into my home setup but something strange has happened: I noticed that the pitch and mod wheel functions are not acting according to their settings. No problem, I thought, I'll just restore default settings and re-build. Besides some of the factory settings are inspiring.
So, I restored defaults using the shift-7 functions (write protect off), and I was dissapointed with the result.
Example: program N1 "OB jumper"
Mod wheel should be a filter control.
Also, the first pot for "eg1 int1" is stuck in the +60 position (not the physical pot, mind you, but the software and lights).
This pot works well in other programs with the expected results, although the values sometimes "glitch" and dance around the set value by about 2-10.
If anyone can help me climb this mountain, I emplore you to help. It's been a rough couple of months, and I was psyched to make some music, but now I'm seriously at the end of my rope - no joke. This was a kick in the pants as I fear it's an internal issue with the hardware.
If anyone can help, I'd be most appreciative.
Ps - I have tried to change the mod wheel routing on later pages, but it looks like there's a problem with the pot.
