SEQ button non responsive
All the buttons are working flawlessly, except the SEQ button. I must push it harder to activate it.
Is there a way to clean it (with contact cleaner or the sort) or should I bring the board to service? Have anyone else experienced the same thing with this or other button?
Thanks

It is, but getting factory warranty in Venezuela from a synth purchased in the US is a NIGHTMARE. So I will cope with it until is absolutely necessary to fix.kikedeolivos wrote:Is it still on the factory warranty?

Re: SEQ button non responsive
I had the same problem with my Triton (had to push a couple buttons REALLY hard for it to work). But that was after 10 years of use. Your M50 is very new. Unless you're in a very dusty or dirty environment, it shouldn't be that. But, it's worth a try. I fixed my Triton with a little contact cleaner shot directly on the contacts. Works like new again.mocando wrote:All the buttons are working flawlessly, except the SEQ button. I must push it harder to activate it.
Is there a way to clean it (with contact cleaner or the sort) or should I bring the board to service? Have anyone else experienced the same thing with this or other button?

Yup. That's it. I live in the country and we have TONS of dust around here. Another reason to get myself a cover for when I'm not playing.
Will try the contact cleaner.
Thanks a ton Mc
