![]() ![]() To Calibrate a Controller Knob, Mod Wheel, or Data Entry Slider:ġ.Sweep through all possible values without pressing harder either direction than you normally would. What you do next depends on which control you want to calibrate. After you select the CCM function and press Enter, all LEDs on the Xboard turn off (except the display, which says “adjust a control”). This feature enables you to calibrate any control on your Xboard, one at a time, optimizing your Xboard’s action for your playing technique. To select a function, use the data slider to select a Calibration function, and press Enter. When you select CAL and press Enter, you are taken to the CAL sub-menu, which contains calibration functions.

I really want to fix this, as I love the XBoard 61, and it works beautifully with Proteus X (which came free with it).Īfter nearly buying another XBoard on Ebay for just under £100 (but thankfully I held back, because I thought I still might find the solution), I searched through the manual. If it's likely to be a logic problem, rather than the pot or encoder themselves, should I try looking for cold solder joints (I can fix them), or is that an unlikely cause of this sort of problem? I also e-mailed another repair company (sorry, I've forgotten their name) but they didn't reply. I've contacted E-MU to see if they can repair it, but they say the XBoards have been discontinued as of January 2010, and they no longer service them. I presume these are fairly standard pots and nothing specific to E-MU products, but I've spent two hours trawling websites to find a retailer that sells them, and I've come up with nothing, so any help would be greatly appreciated. ![]() ![]() ![]() I've checked the pitch bend wheel's pot, and that is exactly the same (which would make sense, because the pitch bend wheel is held in a central position by springs, until you move it either up or down, but the mod wheel starts at the bottom and moves up to the top). I'm a bit confused as to why the mod wheel one says '90' on it - I presume that that means it has a centre point which is 'zero', and then can move either side of that to give out a value. I have taken photos of the pot and the encoder (the top knobs (for MIDI CC messages) use rotary encoders), and have been looking all over the internet for somewhere to buy replacements from, but haven't found the exact same pots, plus I don't know the resistance (?) of the square one on the fascia knob, and don't want to unsolder it in case I can't get a replacement anyway, I'd rather wait until I have the replacement before I unsolder it.Ĭan you help me? Here are photos of them. One of the knobs on the top of the keyboard, which is used for sending MIDI CC messages, only starts registering movement when it's about a third of the way round, after that it works fine, but I would like to replace it too. Hi everybody, I am trying to fix my E-MU Xboard keyboard, the mod wheel pot is jumping from 0 to 127, instead of giving out a gradual transition from 0 to 127, as soon as I move it a little, the display showing the MIDI output jumps from 0 to 127. ![]()
