Push 3 Encoder Sensitivity

Post by waxings » Tue Feb 18, 2025 2:54 pm

I have had my Push Three since the release. Everything works great, other than some glitchy issues with the encoders. They are really sensitive to touch. As I touch and turn them, they seem to reset and jump around. Is this normal or something that can be adapted?

Thanks

+1 on this. Some of the 'coarse' settings, where an encoder only needs to adjust across a few options (e.g. oscillator octave) seem to have the adjustment speed lower so that you have to turn the encoder more to get a small increment - unlike, say, a frequency variable, where turning the encoder gives fairly rapid change.

The one trick I've found is to use Shift+encoder, which is a standard way of changing a settings with finer changes.

My impression is that some device settings haven't been assigned the 'less sensitive' variation, but should be. e.g. Source Select on Expression Control device.

A few parameters on a few devices are a bit too sensitive, this should be fixed at some point.
That being said, if your experience is encoder-related (i.e always the same encoder no matter which parameter you're controlling) rather than parameter-related then this is likely a hardware issue and you'd need to contact Support.
