RE: EDP foot controller: touch buttons

["Frank Schultz" <fschultz@mindspring.com>]

I usually clean (Deoxit D5) the 1/4" plugs on the cable connecting the
EDP and the foot controller, and connectors - and that takes care of the
problem for me.

Subject: EDP foot controller: touch buttons

Hi all,

To you EDP users, those who'e used the foot controller that's designed
for it:

Have you experienced touchy behavior from the record button? I'm finding
mine extremely sensitive in that I'll try to step on it for record and
when I release it senses another button push (ending record) and I end
up with this tiny short loop. 

Also, on a long push to clear the recording, on release it will start
recording again, apparently sensing yet another push.

Is this characteristic of the cheap switches in these units? Will
replacing them with better switches resolve this?

Thanks,

Paul
