Hello!
i don't have the problem, so i never tried to have a look at this part .
As far as i know it is a pressure sensitive surface often found on
laptops computers to replace the mouse pad . The resistance or
capacitance of this part slightly changes with pressure, there is no
contact inside . But you must have a wire connection with the rest of
the hardware : check it first and eventually clean the pins and socket
of the connector(s) .
Try to ask some computer dedicated forums if no one on this list has a
better answer : they must have the same problem too !
Cheers !

In the Ctrl Matrix, under the VOICE/SCENE SETUP menu, what is the value for Depth
parameter? If it is set to 'dirct' that would account for the wide range in value for the VCF
Cutoff. Change the Depth parameter to a '+' or '-' value and this will be an offset from the
VCF Cutoff value saved in your Voice.

If this fails to address the problem, then you will want to open your AN1x case and check
the internal ribbon cable connector for the Ribbon Controller is affixed to the main board
securely.
