Filter knob issue

Post by FirstAxis »

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone had experienced problems with the filter knob. My problem is the following:

I turn the filter knob. As I release it, the value of the filter does not stay but rather changes randomly around the set value by a couple of points (+- 10). The value settles after a while (but not to the value originally set). It's not the LFO or the envelope because the menu doesn't show the value of the filter when the modulation comes from these sources. To be sure, I tried this on an init patch, and I get the same behavior. When I put it to zero (or 127), the value stays constant, though. But obviously I seldom set the filter to its extreme values.

I am afraid it must be a hardware issue :-|. I was hoping maybe someone had encountered a similar issue and could have a solution for it, before I call the Roland fellows to cash in on my warranty.

Cheers,
FX

Not such problems on my JD. Seems like a warranty issue.

Yep, taking it to the shop where I purchased it for repair. Disappointed with the build quality. I mean, it's the filter knob!
