Kontrol S8 channel faders

Hi, 2 of the channel faders on my S8 need replacing... How and where do I obtain them from NI? lol

Thanks

btw, try to recalibrate those faders - in most cases this is the simplest fix.

good luck

 

Hi and thanks for your reply, that's a great help
I've recalibrated them over and over, lol channels A + B so I swapped them over the less used C + D faders for now.... was getting a very noticable volume drop when you start to lower each fader from top by moving it only a few mm, if you watched the fader in the software, it would 'jiggle' about even though the hardware faders were not being touched which of course stopped once i swapped them out for the faders from C + D.

 

Seems like replacements are no longer available?

 

If it’s a leaky fader I’d buy some deoxit F5 fader spray and good chance it will sort it.

2 of mine were leaking and fixed em both immediately.

I had previously changed the x-fader to an innofader which is an awesome fader and have had no issues, after my x fader started to leak.

I didn’t know about deoxit at the time and maybe would have worked on that too?

seems to me they are a tad sensitive to dirt inside??

Only thing to note it will make the tension a lot lower on the fader which I prefer anyhow as I scratch.
