Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Actually this is a problem that a lot of rotory encoders have.  I'm not saying
this will work for the XX7's but I have been using a special electronics
friendly contact cleaner, DeOxit, which was suggested on the Yamaha A5000 list.
The A5000 is infamous for having the rotory encoders start flipping out.  After
spritzing a little on under the knos my A5000 works fine now.  Another
suggestion on another list is to put a small circular piece of lens cleaning
fabric on under the rotary to keep dust from getting into it.  The basic problem
is that the  encoder is oxidizing and the contacts inside aren't making proper
connections.

Don't know if this will help.

P.S. DON'T use DeOxit on the knobs, it will dissolve the grease they use to make
them feel firmer.

worthless piece of crap.



About the weird buttons and data wheels, perhaps I'm just unlucky to
get two XL-7's which doesn't work well. I guess I should concider
sending the XL-7 back again to get it repaired.
