Taika-Kim Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 OK, making a new thread. I have an used sammichSID, running RC3 2.0 operating system. The rotary encoder really is impossible, the values jump to all directions in a very uncontrollable way, sometimes even more than 10 values at a time. The previous owner had no problems with it. So is it possible I have fried some component when I was assembling and disassembling the unit when troubleshooting earlier the other problems? Or might it have been somehow damaged in transit? Altough it seemed to have been packcaged fine. Oh btw just today for the first time took a look at the manual, this really seems like a programmers dream! Shame only, that as I understood it, there can be only one trigger matrix, where several destinations can be triggered by an single source... But for some serious fun, it would be cool to have LFO retrigger ENV1, have that retrigger LFO2, which would retrigger ENV2, which could maybe retrigger LFO1 again... And so on. But this is not possible or planned right now? Well, next going to install that JAVA programmer to examine a bit, now without the rotary encoder, this a bit of a pain to use from the panel... Quote
TK. Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 Do you know if the encoder is the original one delivered by Wilba? If it has been replaced by another encoder type, where (for example) the ground pin is at the middle and not at the left side, you will notice such a behaviour. The hardware has to be changed to overcome this. If you are unsure, just buy a replacement! Trigger matrix: chaining events is already possible, there is no need for multiple trigger matrices to handle this :) Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote
Taika-Kim Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Posted February 11, 2012 I think it's an original kit from... Where ever you would buy it in Australia, I guess straight from Wilba? Anyway the previous owner, who I trust, said that he had no problems. Is it possible I damaged some IC chip or other sensitive part when I was poking around changing caps, SIDs etc? Quote
TK. Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 No, it's very likely the encoder. Just contact Wilba directly :) Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote
