| + | ====== Tip from kartodesk on keeping on smooth travel after removing detents from SoundWell encoder ====== | ||
| + | Hi all. \\ | ||
| + | First, there's extensive info about the encoders on [[http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,10184.0.html|this forum thread]] to read. \\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | The encoders i received were from mc4 batch, identical encoders to those Wilba pictured and organized the sales earlier. \\ | ||
| + | Their name is SoundWell rotary encoders (like ALPS STEC16B, "Voti" encoders). \\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | The pics are here for convenience. (Wilba and MC4 took the shots) | ||
| + | {{http://www.synthware.com/cms/images/stories/electronics/soundwell_encoders/16w800/Encoder_0423_800.jpg}} \\ | ||
| + | {{http://members.optusnet.com.au/~wilba6581/SoundWell_Encoder_1.jpg}} \\ | ||
| + | When you open the encoder (might be done using kind of miniature screwdriver or similar), \\ | ||
| + | the key to the smooth travel of encoder shaft - is absolute care of the inner circle where collectors travel. \\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Any inaccurate screwdriver mark made while opening the encoder will result you in jerky feeling when sealed back.** \\ | ||
| + | **After bending the tabs up (of the lowest metallic part, pictured above) in order to disassemble the unit, please DO NOT put your instrument \\ | ||
| + | into highlighted areas (below) where thin plastic part could be deformed by your tool.** \\ | ||
| + | {{http://believe.mytinydream.com/bits/1.gif}} \\ | ||
| + | {{http://believe.mytinydream.com/bits/2.jpg}} \\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | These are sensitive areas, the weak points. \\ | ||
| + | **keep your tool somewhere else and you're fine.** \\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | Also as Wilba suggested the detent could been bent just a little to make a less tactile detent. \\ | ||
| + | It works, although more careful and attentive work is required.\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | In general, when you remove detents, you loose the tight feel and they begin feeling 'oiled', \\ | ||
| + | exactly that feeling of steering wheel of old car against the modern hydraulics. Take this into consideration too.\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | Best to all. | ||
