Default PC Fader bugs??

Has anyone else had problems with faders just quitting several times a day. ie: Usually fader 8. It will just stop working, no touch control or no screen movement. Turning off the PC and restarting always clears it.

Yesterday I had to do that 8 or so times in a 12 hour session.

Is this a PC bug? It happened in 4.3.1 and is still there in 5.0.

Once or twice a day, when it does I usualy find its when I have a plug in on screen, I take it off screen and wiggle the fader a bit, then I regain control, next time I will try Gannons trick........

I've only had Pro Control for about a month now.. I love it. This problem just happened to me today and it also was fader 8. I powered down the PC and on reboot it was fine. Only happened that one time though. Hope it doesn't become an issue. It kind of destroys the 'aged' unit theory. Hey Digi.. what is this??

Ours does it several times a day.

Usually fader 8, but sometimes 6.....

I have just gotten used to it.

Hi George,

Here's the answer I got from the firmware developer on Procontrol:

This happens when a fader thinks its stuck or blocked. Perhaps this test is too sensitive as units age; it could be made more tolerant with a firmware change.

So, can I take an informal poll here an see how often this is happening to the folks here? On my machine, it would happen a couple of times a week. Not a big deal.

One more thing... instead of power cycling your ProControl, you can reset the faders by entering Utility>Prefs>Faders and choose Recal. Easier than a reboot.

Hope this helps!

I have 32 fader system, and it happens 3-4 times a week, sometimes on a same day.No rules, no pattern. I also use the RECAL function in the fader menu.I don't find it very annoying. It happens on every automation, on every console.Of course, if it can be fixed, do it.

Mine has done it ounce or twice in the past ten months, but however do have another problem. Some of the faders will not hold their position at +6dB position if I push the fader to that point - it comes back down to about +5.3 dB ... What is strange though is that if that defective fader is grouped and I push the adgacent grouped fader to +6dB (thus forcing the defective fader to also go up to +6dB) then the defective fader will stay in the correct +6dB position ???

The 'high position, creeping back' problem is an old one...do a search..
If I recall, there were tweaks that were done on the tension of the pullies that are under the faders, didgi offered to fix dud ones in the early days, but have learned how to tweak the latest ones to work well nowadays....Ray, is yours a realy early days model? Perhaps you need a tension service on the fader (s)...

Hello !
We have a 32-Channel and a 8 Channel ProControl. On the 32 Channel unit we have the 6 and 8 Fader problem nearly every day, most of the time on the main unit. The other 8 channel PC has no fader problems. But we often have the problem that main unit or only one fader packs locks out or disapears. Anyone else has this problem ?
Regards
Toko
