I'll try calling Monday, but this isn't good.
Yes unfortunately this lock down is causing delays, please PM me the case number if you don't here anything in the next few days.

I have two brand new units that both do this on pots 1, 4, and 5.

It will pop up at random but the pots get triggered every time by going into or out of flip mode. Is the touch capacitance just too sensitive? This happened both before and after the firmware update to 20.1.4.0.

Edit: Very strange, I decided to AB this issue in PT 2019.12 and 2020.03. So far, it has not done it in 2020.03. Same machine, same version of EUCON. Is that possible?

We think it a hardware issue so would be very surprised if a different version of PT changed the behavior. Please test more and let me know. Thanks Eddie

Thanks, Eddie. I just got it to fail it in 2020.03 as well. Less at first and now every time.

Would you recommend returning to dealer or Avid? I have 2 units close in serial that both do this on pots 1, 4, 5.

Sadly I do think you do need to return them.

Would you happen to know if it affects a particular serial range, or just hope for the best? Thanks!

My S1 was replaced by AVID for this problem and the automation timeout issue and the replacement unit won't even show up in Eucontrol. A complete boat anchor. How horrible does a company have to be to continue to run advertisements and sell a product that is such a complete POS?

Glad i did not bite on this product, it seems like they have a lot of kinks to work out to say the least.. mostly on the hardware parts side
