G2 Knobs

Hi

I got another Nord Modular G2X today.

When I was testing it, I noticed that, when I turned the big knob to change patches, sometimes it didn't go one patch forward when I turned it.
I also noticed that one of the knobs to edit the sound was a bit hard to turn.

Will this likely be solved by cleaning the synth?

Thanks in advance,
Best

Paugui

I would definitely blow air through the encoder for path selection. The other encoder, might need some ether cleaner, or alcohol, or similar. Some really good products are made by Deoxit.

thats what major brands like dave smiths use for cleaning their encoders and potentiometers.
i guess there 100 and 10 models to.
it is expensive but good.
