i was wondering if anyone can help... i have an evolution
MK361-C usb midi keyboard/controller, and the pitch wheel
has gone insane and is just randomly pitching my stuff
constantly its pissing me off something fierce... does
anyone know how i can tell the computer till ignore the
pitch wheel without having to manually deactivate it on
every single channel????

thanks
j

Sounds cool. You should record some of it before you solve
the problem.... Try vacuming the controller...if possible...

oh... good idea, i'm borderline ripping it out of the
socket...

it doesn't sound cool trust me, it's just jumping between
quartertones and its just a nuisance...

so ? as you hit record ...and do not play anything there is
still pitch randomly outputing from the keyboard?

leaving it in such a state will mess up your timing and
reduce your midi band width.you can filter midi info ( find
the filter page. on your sequencer)

evolutions are pretty easy to open up ..take it apart
...take the pitchwehll apart and see if you can clean it??

might be easy...might be a bitch...good luck.

you can try several things. the potentiometer in your
evolution died and problably needs only cleaning or in the
worst scenario - must be replaced.

i recommend following actions which you might try:

- if you need that keyboard quick either search the internet
for "midi filter" or anything similar and install it and
shut of "pitch bend" which should do the job quite good.

- you could try changing the global midi out channel of your
keyboard from "omni" (which i highly presume you have
switched on) to, for example, one or two. then just
deactivate pitch bending on this single channel an your
done.

- maybe you can get to the potentiometer withought
unscrewing anything - try to spray some kontakt faderspray
(wd 40 will to too - even better) and see if you can catch
the poti.

- the most recommended thing in my opinion is really
unscrewing the keyboard (shouldn't be complicated as it
doesn't have a lot of parts), getting to the pot and
lubricating the hell out of it with wd 40

Yeah sounds like a bad pot, just change it or clean it if
you're that worried about replacements.

that's problably a simple 5 or 10 kOhm poti.
