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.
E MU XBOARD 61 MOD
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.
