APC 40 sending "phantom" MIDI signals

Post by rbro » Tue Aug 04, 2020 11:28 pm

I have an original APC40 and lately if it's on while I'm playing back an arrangement, it will randomly do something which causes the arrow to the right of the transport controls to turn red and my volume envelopes get tweaked in the process. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Contact Cleaner, pressured air, something like that....

If it still does it after it's broken and you'll need to replace the part.
