Replacing AN1x potentiometers with better ones?

2016-05-28 by Matt Gregory

Has anyone here ever replaced the pots on the AN1x with higher quality
ones to get rid of some of the stair-stepping effect that happens
while you're editing?  I was comparing my AN1x with a Roland GAIA and
the GAIA knobs are so much smoother sounding and better feeling. And I
was noticing that the AN1x knobs are capable of hitting every value in
the sweep, but you really have to go slow and be careful, otherwise it
will skip a lot.  I think higher quality pots would help tremendously
and it would be a cool little upgrade for the AN1x.
