s4 fader A moves on its own

[SKAR]

hey guys and gals...

Ive had my s4 for aprox 8 months. Only now am i getting this problem, its so annoying!

push fader A up to top it moves back down (10-25%) (on its own!!)
while fader A is up... if i move fader B up it moves down same percentage!

ive noticed that there are a few with same or similar issues and NO one has given a fix.

can some one please help????

I have re-installed and recaliberated and cleaned faders so thats not the answer!

I do not wish to switch to channel C and D as i use all 4 of my decks.

If i need to send my s4 to NI then so be it, but id really like to no y this is happening, so i can help others having similar issues!

many thanks and i hope someone has an answer to this wierd issue

This happens to me every once in awhile out of the blue. But a simple recalibration of all the faders gets it working properly again.

Beyond that, I would contact Native Instruments directly. Unfortunately if it's a hardware issue, you'll probably have to send it in and be without your S4 for awhile.

cheers for ur reply RobotNinja

Unfortunately, as i stated, a re-caliberation of all faders and pots has not worked!

I have emailed NI earlier today... ive got a feeling i will need to send S4 to them, nothing is working to fix this!

I'm curious, are you using the stock S4 mappings or do you run a custom *.tsi mapping?

[basspenetrator]

it's a hardware issue..

the only fix i know of is to get your unit replaced by NI..

I use the stock mappings, but recently ive learnt how to midi map... so ive mapped my numberpad keys on lappy to immitate a midi fighter style combo fx pad...(added to generic keyboard tsi)
I did check wether it was this that was making my faders move by doing a complete re-install without my add-ons...

It's a hardware issue then

common hardware issue for some people. Only fix is to send it in.

AW MAN!!! lol
I thort i would have to... wanted to eliminate all other possibilitys!

Earlier today ive emailed NI direct, stating my problem. Would anyone no if they are quick to reply? My warrenty runs out at the end of the month! Thort it was 8 months of usage but i was wrong!

Cheers for all u help

its much appreciated!

oops, I have the exact same issue but on the B fader.

I hope it's not the hardware.

I bought it at Thomann, and last time I sent them a DMX light to repair, they told my light's circuity was damaged by liquid, though I'm certain it wasn't...
