These aren't actually pots - they are rotary encoders (every time you feel that click, the little switch in there kicks over and triggers the unit to increment) The encoders in the vortex are a known weak point and they should probably be replaced. On the up side, Lexicon is very good about sending replacements. The vortex breaks apart very very easily and installing new encoders is a short little job if you have basic soldering skills) From: "Fabian Petersen" <fabpet@web.de> Reply-To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Subject: VORTEX knobs and pots Date: Sat, 18 Jan 2003 17:16:37 -0600 MIME-Version: 1.0 Received: from mc5-f21.law1.hotmail.com ([65.54.252.28]) by mc5-s10.law1.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.5600); Sat, 18 Jan 2003 15:17:50 -0800 Received: from hemlock.violacea.com ([207.228.238.9]) by mc5-f21.law1.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.5600); Sat, 18 Jan 2003 15:17:50 -0800 Received: (from looper@localhost)by hemlock.violacea.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id SAA26276;Sat, 18 Jan 2003 18:17:28 -0500 Resent-Date: Sat, 18 Jan 2003 18:17:28 -0500 Old-Return-Path: <fabpet@web.de> Message-ID: <000901c2bf47$a7ddf640$d427c8cd@FABIAN> X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook, Build 10.0.2616 Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1106 Sender: fabpet@web.de Resent-Message-ID: <UFu_PD.A.faG.ICeK-@hemlock.violacea.com> Resent-From: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com X-Mailing-List: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> archive/latest/28835 X-Loop: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: Loopers-Delight-request@loopers-delight.com Return-Path: Loopers-Delight-request@loopers-delight.com X-OriginalArrivalTime: 18 Jan 2003 23:17:50.0393 (UTC) FILETIME=[D1D75A90:01C2BF47] The pots on my Vortex seem to be worn out. First, they feel "loose", the steps don't seem to be very precise. Second, the pot to step through the parameters seems to be worst. If I try to select a certain parameter to change it, the display isn't showing it's actual value. Sometimes it stays the same, sometimes it needs two steps forward, one step back, to get the actual parameter value displayed. I assume it is the pot. Or is this behaviour familiar to any other Vortex users? _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
