I’m beeing offered a used A4, which is a bit beat up.
I did a button test using the test mode (hold YES while powering on the unit). All buttons work except I get a “ENCODER LEVEL FAILED” error allot of the time when doing the “turn encoders” part of the test process. About 50% of the time I get through the whole test without errors, but 50% of the time I will stop at some encoder with this error, and before the error I think I see that the encoder is jumping between values. It seems to be always the same 2-3 encoders.
Now when I’m using the synth the buttons seem to work fine, at least the jump that I seem to see when doing the test, is not affecting the buttons enough to bother me or even be noticed.
Is this encoder level test something I should take seriously? Should I be worried?
Should I skip buying this A4 MK1 because this might be an indication of some problems in the near future?
