So I have a Mk1, that I decided to replace all the encoders on. Using a Vacuum desoldering station I dutifully took each one off with care, but something has happened.
When back together up/Down page 3 of the synth and other buttons are non functional and tempo creeps up. Plus the 3rd row from the screen encoders are useless and jump about.
The MD is now with a tech who has diagnosed an issue with the UART Multiplexer readout on the 5th Column of the 8 in the diode switch matrix.
I have tried and had no luck contacting Elektron to attempt to get a schematic of just this area.
The options are:
1: Has anyone experienced this same issue and has a solution?
2: Does anyone have a good picture of the top of the MK1 non UW machinedrum Control PCB with no encoders installed to see the traces.
3: Does someone have an actual contact in Elektron to ask to sign an NDA to get a schematic to resolve this? ( @Ess, @nedavine any leads you guys could PM would be appreciated )
4: Does someone have a top MK1 Machinedrum non UW operational PCB I can purchase?
I’m literally begging on my knees to ensure I am not forced to scrap the thing. I’ve already got the expensive Torodial PSU etc.
All help really appreciated.
