    Default left line fader gives out strange midi messages

    i just connected my vci to my macbook after a gig on saturday and my left line fader keeps giving out strange midi messages.

    if it's up and i press it again up it gives out the following messages (midi monitor log)

    Code:
    16:05:49.973	From Vestax PC-CONTROLLER	Control	1	Effect Control 1 (coarse)	64

    in traktor it goes back down a little bit and finds it way to full peak after a while (which is right acording to the midi messages).

    do you think it's fully broken or can i clean it with alcohol, i put it appart already, but could see any dirt or other stuff inside the fader.
    how can i clean it properly? i couldn't get inside the fader

    i know that there are some other threads but, none of those i found really helped..

    thanks in advance

    you have to clean the faders.
    i had the same thing with the crossfader and after some cleaning it got better (and is gone now)

    seh grad deutsch geht auch. ich hab mit einem stück pappe den fader von außen gereinigt, sicherlich nicht die top lösung aber hat funktioniert.
