S49 MK2 - Knob 3 not sending correct midi value
Hi,
my Knob 3 doesn't send Midi Values 0-127 but instead randomly numbers in between (never going down to 0 or fully up to 127). This is then also reflected everywhere the knob is used. I checked Midi config - everything is fine and the same setting as all the other knobs, which work fine.
Any ideas, how to fix this?
Thank you!

Sounds like the knob may be faulty. Have you used a midi monitor to verify the issue?

Now I monitored with Cubase Midi-Monitor Plug In.
Turning one of the other knobs continuousely clockwise direction produces smart values from 0 until 127. This is the result from the faulty knob (turning clockwise) - watch Value 2. It's going down and up but not the full range ...

You should contact NI through the support page “Hardware Support” link. It’s the Wizard thing, so just answer it has a physical defect and the support ticket process starts… if it’s still under warranty, they may replace the existing KB, not sure about “out of warranty” issues.
Not Recommended, but if out of warranty, you could try opening and looking for possible loose connectors, but the encoders are probably all on one board with a single connector, and since other encoders work, that “one” may be hosed and not “fixable”. Best of Luck!

Hey there @Roland Kirst This looks like a hardware defect, if you can reproduce it with MIDI Monitor or MIDI Ox, even without Cubase or the Komplete Kontrol software open using this guide:
How to Monitor the Input of a MIDI Controller
Then you need to contact my colleagues here: https://bit.ly/NISupport_Hardware

Thank you Jeremy!
I re-checkd with MIDIOX. This proofed, that it must be a hardware failure.
I attached 2 screenshots ("good" and "bad"). In both cases I turned the knobs only clockwise. The good knob sent data as expected up to value 127. The bad one goes up and down almost randomly.
I contacted my dealer (Thomann Music Germany) and they sent me a return label for warranty repair.
Thank you all again for your quick answers!
Roland

Final solution: I sent my S49 MK2 to my dealer (https://www.thomann.de/) and received a new replacement keyboard 2 weeks later. Thank you Thomann for the service.
