Futureman Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hi all, It's been a long time since I've been in these parts. I've been using some cheaper encoders that i purchased off ebay, and after a year or two they have started failing. Essentially, sometimes when turning clockwise, the value will drop... My question is - what encoders have people used? More importantly - What encoders have people used that after a few years of regular and abusive use have continued to function perfectly. My SEQ4 is very dear to my heart, and I love it to bits and I'd love it to continue to work perfectly for many more years.

Hawkeye Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Hi Mike, Both work flawlessly (no step skipping) after 4 years of medium to heavy usage: Alps 12mm encoders (with push-button function) http://www.reichelt....HOW=1&OFFSET=16 or Alpha 16mm encoders (without push-button function) Mouser P/N 318-ENC160F-24P The 12mm Alps encoders can be installed into the Wilba SEQ CS, with a bit of pinbending. Sounds a bit weird, but possible without problems. They also offer push-action to accelerate parameter inputs (with one hand only), which is great. Many greets!

Futureman Posted July 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Thanks Peter. I'll take a punt on the Alpha Encoders then. My SeqV4 is custom, so the PCB is not a real concern. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
