Re: [xl7] knobs etc malfunction- hardware or software problem?s

Open it up and look inside see if there is capacitors leaking or something. You can check all the knobs with multimeter and see what9;s the issue.

Hi, thanks to those who responded to my post about wtb a manual.


I have discovered that when I set the 16 knob selector to "volume", some knobs control 2 channels, and some none (ie in mix mode).  to be exact:


knob 1 controls channel 1 and 7

knob 2 controlls channel 2 and 17 

knob 3 controls channel 3 and 14

knob 4 controls nothing


Is this a sign of failure of the knob board itself, or could this be a software glitch. 


the unit came with 2.0 - 


Any help would be appreciated _ i would be sad to return it because it is so cool 


PS a couple pads behave irregularly, and the mod strip is also a little glitchy- I notice that 

all these hardware parts are for sale, I just want to know from you experienced dudes if replacing 

the hardware components would solve this problem.


thanks again, I appreciate the help!


Paul
