[SOLVED] Weird issue with some step keys
Posted: Aug 21st, '16, 11:00
Hey guys. Just Finished up a build and everything works well except a couple step buttons (namely 9, 10, 13 & 14)
They're acting all around funky. In pattern write mode, the first time I press any of these buttons, it will activate them properly, but then any adittional presses will have no effect. I can continuously press them and they will not turn off, then a few passes of the active sequencer through them will either turn them into accents or turn them off, kind of randomly.
When I start the Nava and press Play, step 9 starts off lit. The first time the sequencer plays it, it becomes accented, then nothing else happens to it on additional pass throughs. Step 13 begins flashing after the sequencer has been running a little while.
Also, in pattern write mode, if I press Select Instrument, Mid Tom will immediately be selected. If I try to select any other instrument, it will immediately bounce back to Mid Tom within a couple miliseconds unless I release the Select Instrument button faster than that (pretty much pressing it with an instrument key simultaneously.)
I have desoldered and resoldered and no dice. Looking for any help on this, as its become pretty frustrating. Any ideas what area to focus on? It seems like a software issue, as no resoldering I have done has helped.. I will try to pop the non-functional step keys out and swap them with ones from the working steps just to confirm that it is not an issue with those buttons. I dont think it is though, since the problems dont seem to be something caused by faulty hardware. When I press step 9 for instance, it will sometimes also turn on step 10. The first press of these also always works, so its not like contact is not being made - its just the way they behave once pressed is not proper.
Thanks!
