Default S1 Fader Cycle in test mode (Vegas Mode)?

I just got my brand new S1 and am having an issue with one of the faders being really tough when pulling the gain down on it while all other faders are buttery smooth. When I put the controller into test mode (Vegas Mode), the faders are not cycling.

According to the manual, the faders should automatically cycle until you touch one and the top left pan knob is supposed to control the speed of the fader cycle. But in my case, when I go into test mode, the faders just stay still. Is this normal functionality?

What happens if you move a fader....it should move the fader to the right

Yes. That does happen.

Its working OK then. Check for intermittent touch indication on the bad fader.

Touch indication works perfectly on all knobs and faders. It's just pulling gain down on fader #7 is really tough. It's like the motor is trying to hold the fader in place.

I noticed that if you lightly touch any fader, the faders give resistance to allow you to move the fader in fine increments and if you touch firmly on the fader it moves freely with no resistance. But on fader 7, the fader is always resistant regardless of how you touch it.

If the touch isn't registering correctly this will cause this issue. Try a couple of things..take the fader cap off and reseat it, then wet your finger and touch firmly and see if there's a difference. If not I'm afraid you should return it. Has it been 30 days since purchase ?

I tried removing the cap and reseating it. Didn't help. Didn't try the wet finger though. And yeah, I just got it in a week ago. I have Sweetwater looking into it.
