DOEPFER POCKET DIAL encoder problems

hi! I owned second hand DOEPFER POCKET DIAL for some time and two right knobs make a lot of value skipping :confused: turning right I get values like +4 -3 +1 -2 +2 +1 -5 -2 +2… is there any way to “clean” the encoders or what? does it help do remove detents? how to do this? thanks for reply

-> support@doepfer.de

…no reply from them  >:(

can anybody help?

That´s typical for Doepfer. You won´t find anyone here who likes them to much (I do think so). They more or less are selling stuff for a to high price and 90% of it can *easily* be done DIY (especially the modular synthesizer stuff).

The support @ Doepfer is known to be a shame. They normally *will* answer you, but that can take a few days up to weeks. If it´s some urgent stuff, I would call there. You can also look for forums on Doepfer stuff.

There is a forum link on the Doepfer homepage:

http://server3.ezboard.com/bdoepfermusicelektronic (and there the Pocket Contolers even have its own section)

Try it over there or build the better MidiBox.

doepfer forums are already death for years :confused: yeah am working on my midibox but still I want to use my pocket dial and the skipping value problem really heckle me  >:( there must be some way to clean the encoders or not? they are ALPS made imho…

… it will be hard to find somebody to help you with doepfer hardware in this forum  :frowning: (reasons you’ll find in different postings)

there must be some way to clean the encoders or not? they are ALPS made imho…

… why don’t replace them, if they’re ALPS?
