sebiiksbcs Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I wanna ask in our Midibox forum cause our forum is dope. Lately my Kore 1 Controller's encoders started behaving oddly, and I am thinking about replacing them myself since NI's technical support does not reply my queries, maybe because the whole Kore think is being discontinued anyway. Does anybody know what brand / type of encoders are used in Kore controllers? I opened mine and each encoder has 4 pins. I wonder if it is a special type of encoder since they are all touch sensitive (never liked this feature though) I can post some pictures later.

sebiiksbcs Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 My cam is quite crappy. Hope you get an impression. I found out one of the encoder shafts actually broke loose. I pressed it back into its base and it worked normally. Didn't stop the original problem though, which is epileptic encoder behavior.

sebiiksbcs Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I glued the broken shaft back on, works like new! It actually looks like under the shafts there are analog trimmer-like potentiometers (also the text reading "B80K" on the encoders gives a hint). Maybe the firmware of the controller measures increase/decrease in resistance and ignores jumps from zero to full (and vice versa)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartoshka Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) they are very similar to ones used in x0xb0xes (VR4, VR6), made by Taiwan Alpha Electronics. Edited July 18, 2011 by Kartoshka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the Rotary encoder Tempo adjustment ? This one has only 3 pins though, as far as I can see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey i also have a "brooken" shaft on my Kore 1 Controller and was wandering if you opened the whole box itself to glue on the shaft or you didt it from the outside like i was thinkin to do... Becouse i cant simply not figure out how to open op the box itself. Baba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
