Re: S3 Fader stop working
"Stuck fader" issue should not be new to Avid, some of us from the live sound side have reported these issues on S3's from summer 2014.
So far the solution has been fader replacement, but since the faders in the unit are quite typical ALPS'es successfully used in number of other consoles it's likely a combination of slightly lower quality faders sometimes triggering a issue in fader firmware resulting surface dropping these faders as non-functional. So for now I would keep an eye on if it's certain faders you see the issue happening to on your surfaces and then ask for replacement faders under warranty, that should inspire Avid to come with a software fix quicker |

As you see, the two faders (#12/16) nearly always get stuck when hitting the 12dB-max. The same two faders are getting lost completely from time to time until reboot. |

From here you can access vegas mode and other fader / light tests including changing led brightness back light colours etc etc should help with the testing :)

Re: S3 Fader stop working
There are also other fader test modes you may want to try. Sorry I'm not in front of mine right now.

Re: S3 Fader stop working
I have the same problem as most people here - fader just goes to sleep after an hour or a few... it's the same ones repeatedly.
I am on my 2nd replacement!!! That's S3 no.3 and it's got the same problem <facepalm> It's fader number 5 on this one so far... |

Re: S3 Fader stop working
Couple weeks ago i got my S3 with replaced fader from polish service. Everything was fine.
Yesterday i upgraded firmware via eucontrol and 2 faders started stacking. Something is wrong with firmware 1.1.1. I did downgrade to 1.1.0 and faders works correct. It's very annoying…. |

Re: S3 Fader stop working
I see you are also on yosemite though and that's not support

Re: S3 Fader stop working
Oh dear, I am on controller number 4.
Fader 8 drops out on this one... All credit to my supplier KMR for helping out, they really are doing everything they can... Avid can you comment on what's going on? I appreciate the advice re: vegas mode etc, but you have to power cycle the controller to get into that mode and re-starting it jogs the fader back to life so it's not a useful test I am afraid. |
