That's great! I don't know the typical sites so if you could suggest the site with the one that fits great it would be most helpful.

I used these buttons, had to adjust them a little bit by taking out a small part of the plastic:

Perhaps others fit better, you can find many different sizes and colors.

Mine are still not fully broken yet, but Sweetwater sent me a spare set. It looks like when they developed the Wave 2, the slider caps were sourced from a less than reliable producer, and it was a new part for Nord. I don't remember sliders on any of their other instruments-

Same problem here. Contacted Nord and via the distributor in Belgium I got four new caps. Very good service. The broken cap could be fixed with superglue.

i have the same problem too. bought the wave2 new in january and 2 faders did the same thing within the first week....later a third. on inspection , i noticed they all had cracks in them.

i contacted the store i got it from and they got in contact with the distributor in canada. unfortunately, the faders have to come from sweden/europe. been a few months now, and i'm starting to follow up on where they are.

besides that, i agree, the synth is built solid and i'm really enjoying it especially for big ambient explorations.

cheers,
bee

Hey Bee Lodge. I notice you too are Canadian and like I did, have to deal with Jam Industries. I finally got my new slider caps several months later, after jumping through quite a few (unnecessary) hoops. Other wave2 owners had good service from their country reps and I think Nord ought to look into their Canadian rep. I don't think I had good service. It requires some patience, and you'll probably have to bug them a few times, but eventually the slider caps do show up. I hope nothing really serious breaks down. Wouldn't want to have to stop playing my wave2 for a couple of months.

Hey Bee, I bought my wave 2 from Long & McQuade too. I thought it would be easy to get the slider caps directly from Jam Industries, but they made me contact L & M for a bill of sale to prove that I really owned a wave 2. Several emails and months later the caps showed up. Not as easy as I'd thought, but I'm happy now. Just glad I didn't have to deal with something more serious (yet).

Layer control plastic caps on faders crack with time, first one got a crack, and no another one.
It seems like it's manufacture problem.

Anyone knows where to get new/others caps?

thank everyone for replies, I will order on alixpress.
