ahoy hoy, got a yamaha digital console with a possesed master fader. every few days it either physically flys around randomly, or just does that internally (the fader sits at 0, look at the screen and its at -25 or whatever). and if you bump it accidentally...its all over. either way, it takes a good 10 minutes with the scroll wheel and flicking the fader round to get it back to 0 and make it stay there. it'll go to 0, then drop again, then move around for a while and settle somewhere random. no-one seems to be able to tell me jack about it, i cant figure out whether the fader is stuffed or if its a software issue (i got that impression since the physical fader can remain stationary while the software master changes..although, as i said the actual fader sometimes goes crazy too). i dont know a thing about inside consoles, especially motorised faders.
what do you think? i obviously tried things like calibrating the faders (flys round in cal mode too), calling the local techs (who didnt know shit). anyone had this? new fader or software?
