Dock fader "grabbing"
Hi,
After just over a year of working well, my Dock fader has started "grabbing" when I try and write automation. I put my finger on it and start to ride the fader (in touch) and the motor tries to grab it and it stutters under my finger - so the automation move doesn't get written properly. This mainly happens when I try and ride upwards from the zero point. I seem to be able to get round it by moving the fader downwards, then upwards. I've tried plenty of restarts of the unit, and put it into test mode for a while to see if something needed to work loose from the fader. Not helped unfortunately. Any suggestions? |

Re: Dock fader "grabbing"
Do you have more than the Dock (S1 for instance)? I've had a situation like this before where the restart of the Dock doesn't fix it but the problem is actually coming from the S1. Power cycling (by pulling power, not just the switch) the S1 fixed it. It was like the S1 fader was fighting the Dock fader.

Re: Dock fader "grabbing"
Thanks BScout, much appreciated.
As it happens I added an S1 to my setup at about the point this Dock fader issue started. I have pulled the power on both and restarted. Going to road test today and will post again on outcome. |

Re: Dock fader "grabbing"
This can be intermittent touch sense. Either dirty fader or you need to be grounded better.(grab something that is whilst moving the fader as a test)

Re: Dock fader "grabbing"
In the end the fader kept having the same problem. I have recently borrowed some else's Dock - swapped it out for mine - and the fader on this new Dock works well. So I'm now assuming I have a faulty or dirty fader on my Dock.
Hoping Eddie is reading this... Is it possible to buy a new fader and replace at home? Or do I need to send the unit off for repair? The unit is out of warranty, and I am UK based. Thanks :) |

There should be a little access panel underneath. Call a dealer and give them this code or a case with avid. |

Re: Dock fader "grabbing"
Hi. I have a similar issue with one of my S3 faders. It's moving on startup but won't response to touch or anything from my DAWs.
I'm not able to find a replacement fader in Europe. How should I proceed in this case? Thanks!

Any Avid dealer can order that part above for you. If they say not let me know who they are!
