Hi everyone.For a while I've had this problem with data wheel on my xl7 where it would throw data all over the place unless turned really slowly.I've tried deoxidizer but that would work anly for a day and it just comes back to same problem.I would really like to fix this somehow.Does anyone else have this problem and can it be fixed easily? Thanks Nermin

Pretty much everyone has this problem. The encoders suck. If you're brave, you could bend back the four little pins that hold the encoder together and try and improve the wiper contacts, but you'll probably end up making it worse. -Aaron --- Nermin <extra_mayo79@...> wrote: > For a while I've had this problem with data wheel on my xl7 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Well, that sucks.I guess I am gonna have to keep turning it really slowly and get used to that. I am not gonna mess with internals becouse I am usually not very lucky with that kinda stuff. thanks Nermin Aaron Eppolito <synthesis77@...> wrote: Pretty much everyone has this problem.

Search thru the archive......like many moons ago someone said they used heavy bicycle-grade grease loaded down into encoder mechanism - they swore that it "fixed" the problem remember - I am not saying to do this - I am saying that I think I remmber someone saying that... rEalm?

in all of the free time you must have, Aaron :0 - sys rev suggestion, the fabled dead-encoder work-around: playpads-as-numeric-keypad mode: C-A as 0-9, A#-B as (+) and (-) and top C as ENTER I know this is probably not practical to suggest, but I am curious - is it possible given the archetecture of the Command Station? my wheel is starting to go too......causes me great distress as I use the box all the time ok - thanks Ed --- In xl7@yahoogroups.com, Aaron Eppolito <synthesis77@y...> wrote:

Yeah, vaguely remember it, but I wouldn't recommend it though. Probably will help things for a bit, but I can't imagine grease is going to help in the long run, might make things worse. The only other option I can suggest, is contact Emu tech suport and see how much it would cost to get a new encoder installed. rEalm Search thru the archive......like many moons ago someone said they used heavy bicycle-grade grease loaded down into encoder mechanism - they swore that it "fixed" the problem remember - I am not saying to do this - I am saying that I think I remmber someone saying that... rEalm?

Whoa!!! That's awesome, how'd you find that? I think with some pictures
that are geared towards the XX-7, this would be very easy for most people
to do.

It was on the emusaic.net E-MU sampler mailing list a while back. Altho my mp-7 is fine, my E-MU Ultra suffers from this problem. It don't really bother me tho coz I have an ASCII keyboard plugged into it and use that most of the time. Glad I could be of some help, tho the real credit should go to the guy who made the webpage!

in all of the free time you must have, Aaron :0 -
sys rev suggestion, the fabled dead-encoder work-around:
playpads-as-numeric-keypad mode: C-A as 0-9, A#-B as (+) and (-) and
top C as ENTER
I know this is probably not practical to suggest, but I am curious -
is it possible given the archetecture of the Command Station?
my wheel is starting to go too......causes me great distress as I use
the box all the time
ok - thanks
