Strange noise on moving any poti, controller Nord Wave 2

Post by Niggoe »

Has anyone experienced the same? Every controller, poti whatever even aftertouch is making some strange squeezing noise when I move them. It doesn’t seem to be normal.

The noise is local mechanical noise of the pots themselves, or it comes through the audio outs?

It comes through audio outs. I will make a movie tomorrow.

Ui, this sounds like a malfunction of an electronical component and nothing which could be solved just by cleaning or restarting. Technical service seems to be necessary. Or a replacement of the whole instrument which is more comfortable for you.

Yeah I think so as well. I have send Thomann the same Video describing the malfunction. Just thought maybe it is something known.

It only seems to affect controls that send MIDI data out. The main volume knob, for example, doesn't do it, nor does the waveform control. Just as an experiment, try disabling MIDI out if you can (I am not familiar with the Wave 2 MIDI implementation but there should be a way to do so).

You are magic!!!! It works. Indeed a Bluetooth Midi component was causing this! If I remove it everything is gone.

Ha! Glad it worked. But out of curiosity, which bluetooth setup were you using?
