I've tried to provide as much information relating to the issue I am having. I thought it may help if giving me any advice on helping me find a solution to my issue.
The Issue I am having is that the S8 Dry/Wet knob on the top right-hand side (Deck B) FX2 moves on its own when I use it. Extremely frustrating.
See zipped very small mp4 video below:
The 2nd Vol Channel also does the same (occasionally the others sometimes move a little)

Since last year mid 2023, my S8 has been purrrring like a new born kitten for 10years. The S8 is still connected to an old laptop, using Traktor Pro 2 scratch & pro. The unit had been softly cleaned, removing buttons and returned them back & kept covered with a decksaver when not in use. The old Native Service Center* (*NSC) installed on a laptop (Win8)
FYI, this laptop is sole use is for TraktorPro and after the following steps/actions below, is when this issue first occurred and currently still remains, looking no more/less than in those mp4 videos above:
Mid 2023, I carried out a regular *NSC update. As this update without any warning completely removed my NI Service Center (which NI stated in the update that it hadn't) was being updated to the all-new Natives Access 2* (*NA2). So, without warning I was not able to run *NA2 on my old Win8 laptop, leaving me very distressed.
I managed to find an old back up of the old *NSC and installed it back onto my old trusty Win8 laptop. I re-installed the S8 drivers I had a backup of was able to go back to using the *NSC allowing me to continue to use TraktorPro and the S8 on my old laptop, BUT with a strange issue remaining. Yes, the controllers moving on their own, but I was under the impression this most likely happened when I cleaned the S8 and may had foreign material inside. I tried recalibrating the functions using both Traktor Pro and the Controller Editor with no fix.
I then installed *NA2 on a newer pc (Win10) as a 2nd pc/device account use.
I then connected the S8 to the newer PC and given its power source is different also.
Also, I have recalibrated the functions again using Traktor Pro 3 v3.11.1 and using the Controller Editor v2.8.2.
Today May 2024 a year later, I connected the S8 back to the newer PC again with *NA2, TraktorPro3 v3.11.1 installed and up to date. I have done the calibration process as mentioned above.
I have just found a link on NI's product support page shown below:
"How to Monitor the Output of a MIDI Controller"
https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/209544729-How-to-Monitor-the-Output-of-a-MIDI-Controller
I have installed the MIDI-OX software and can see the events when following the guide.
I am not confident I fully understand what I am to do and really would hope someone could help me.
Thanks in advance for reading this through. 😎
