Anyone with the R3 Tempo issue read this!!!

[Re-Member]

The problem literally just went away for my R3, but I've owned mine for four years now. Grime and dust from many gigs and practices getting into the knob somehow fixed the problem.

But anyway, the temporary solution that worked for me is saving your patch on the desired tempo, switch over to another patch and turn the tempo knob down all the way counter-clockwise, then switch back to the patch you want to play on and DO NOT touch the tempo knob. As long as don't touch the tempo knob, it will be locked in the tempo you saved it at.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I've sussed the leaving the tempo all the way down thing but if it's an easy repair then I would like to repair it. I've bought the capacitor but not sure where to solder it. I soldered it accross the middle to right hand side pins on the pot (looking at the circuit board from underneath) but it hasn't made any difference. All I managed to achieve was to cause another common fault to arise(noisy outputs, one channel going down itermittently which I traced down to a couple of dry joints) so had to strip the whole thing down to cure that lol. There must be loads of R3s out there with these problems, Any ideas anyone

I posted the steps to fix this problem with the capacitor here http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/ ... hp?t=66324 if you are interested.
