Juhgu Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Hello! My KB37 has served me flawlessly for years, but now the mod wheel has started misbehaving. Unless it's at the top position, it randomly sends out MIDI data without me touching it, which can mess up automations etc. Time to open up the device then - so is there's a guide for fixing this issue, or should I just wing it? Cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juhgu Posted Tuesday at 01:55 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 01:55 PM Finally got around to looking inside the KB37. It opened easily with no shenanigans (just take all the screws out) and the mod wheel was connected to the board with a normal plug. Thumbs up to Line6 for that, really appreciate a design like this. I just disconnected the wheel and the issue went away. So now I no longer have a mod wheel but at least I have a working unit again. So it seems it's most likely a physical issue with the wheel potentiometer or its connection. You could try replacing it if you have the skills and can find the part. I hardly ever use the mod wheel anyway so I went with the lazy option instead. Nothing obviously broken on the board. I first assumed I could try cleaning the wheel but that wasn't the case. There was no gunk or even dust inside, it's well sealed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
