Expanding original MIDI Fighter

But then a thought came to me today. I'm not sure if DJDoubleYou will know this one (I suspect he's the only one reading my rant here - and I'm very thankful for that, though I feel like I'm leaning on the guy too heavily!) -- when connecting the analog controls, should I have a capacitor or a resistor in-line? I've seen that with some brains there is a need to do this, but with others there is circuitry in the board that makes it so the extra item isn't needed. Could the lack of a capacitor or resistor be what's at the core of my issues? If so, how do I figure out what I need? Thanks!

I do not think that is is due to the lack of a resistor or capacitor, if i remember correctly it really should just be the case of connecting the inputs to the extension pots, have you checked if the MF still works without them?

The MIDI Fighter definitely works without the analog items connected -- all 16 of the regular buttons (and the LED light show) work perfectly, and the 4 digital buttons work perfectly so long as I have the 5v and all 4 analog inputs pulled.

I'm thinking I'm just going to give up on trying to make the analog inputs work on this. Being able to do the bank select with the 4 digital buttons and having the 16 main buttons working is really great functionality for me.

Sorry man, I have a pro and a spectra, if I had a classic I could have been of more assistance, unfortunately I have absolutely zero experience with this controller.

The Pro is basically an expanded Classic ;)

I know but opening it up is a pain since the upper right button's (top view) right pin is soldered to the PCB (unfortunate design fault).
