HELP-apc40 is sticking. is it my mac set up or my controller

[Vieka plays]

hi, i recently bouhgt an akai apc40 2nd hand but in good condition.
when i first got it it had a slight buzz in it.
then i noticed that the bank select, when you press it once to the left or right just keeps moving through the clips. Since, this has started happening when scrolling trhough the scenes as well, the clip launch view on the controller does not light up green even though those clips are playing in ableton and now the channel faders are not working, they are sticking and responding slowly.

is it my set up or shall i get it sent back through the warrenty?
anyone had this problem?

sounds like someone spilled a beer on their APC40 and passed it on to you.

unfortunately that is the case with almost all apc 40 units. mine has it too (depending on which LEDs are triggered)

they are sticking and responding slowly.

The physical faders or the ones in ableton?

If physical: yeah, it almost sounds like someone spilled something over your unit.
everything else sounds a bit like a midi-loop-thingy
