Hi all!
I'm new to the forums as I'm a first time Prophet owner! I recently purchased a second hand Prophet '08 from Reverb.com, and there seems to be some strange issues with the knobs.
- Most knobs don't do anything. For example, the 'Param 2' knob literally does not change the bank or any other values.
- Some knobs that do work act strangely. For example, the BPM knob does change the bpm, but no matter which way I turn it the value only goes up. If I touch it just after I turn the synth on, it jumps down to 128 or so, then only goes up.
- The master volume knob kind of works, but even at fully left, the volume does not go down to zero
- The setting shown on the LCD screen will sometimes randomly jump to something I have pressed/touched
- Sometimes it will randomly scroll through the programs list
To me this seems like some kind of dust or water damage, but it's odd that it's only the knobs (all buttons work perfectly so far), and the output is fine, sounds are all good.
Has anyone got advice for what could be the cause, or whether I just need to get someone to look at it?
Thank you!
Jake
