Maybe a little bit of cleaning solvent for potentiometers can do it. You should get a non-conductive, lubricating type.

It only helps if it's dirt. It won't repair a broken one, of course.

I agree, most probably data/timbre slider. Happened to me on one SD1.

Selecting a parameter that doesn't really effect playback or the sound

is an ok temporary solution.


I opened my SD1 up, removed the display board & brought the display to

a qualified repair guy. Probably any good instrument repair shop can

replace the slider pot, they weren't made special for Ensoniq. Taking

just the display board in saved me some $.

These guys have it all. Pro fader cleaner/conditioner (to eliminate 
the noisy pots & faders) and lube & grease (to get back that smooth feel 
after cleaning).

  Also DeoxIT cleans and adds more conductivity to noisy audio contacts, 
plugs and connectors. Back in the days we used to use a liquid called 
"Tweak" for this.
