Title: Problem With Beatstep Pro Encoders. Bourns/ALPS Part Numbers?
Post by: theguvnor on August 25, 2019, 08:09:37 am
Hi,

I am having skipping problems with a number of the encoders on my Beatstep Pro.  The values are skipping all over the place when a few encoders are rotated, and sometimes glitching when left at certain positions. Some of the faulty encoders are those used to set pitch (30-detent ones) and some are the non-detent type (Swing and Rate/Fine encoders).

It is definitely a hardware issue, as my other Beatstep Pro with the same same Firmware version works fine.

Do any of you know high quality replacement part numbers for these (Bourns/ALPS) for purchasing online?

Thanks!

Are you sure it is not a problem of too high touch sensitivity?. Some units have it, some don't, so the same firmware could act differently. I have one very sensitive unit and it was hard to use until I fixed it following the published procedure.
