my inpulse 500 is just over 1 months old and about a month ago i noticed myfx knob on deck 1 was drifting slightly to the left. ive also noticed at it jumps around mid set as well. the controller is under warranty.
to rule out any software issues, ive tested it on both djuced latest version, serato dj lite 3.0.6 and vdj 2023 b7555 and the problem persists. i use the controller with usb only and trying multiple usb ports didnt help.
it needs to be recalibrated so please send/email me the inpulse 500 calibration guide soon.
thanks

Hello Gazing,
Welcome to the forum.
1) I do not understand: "it jumps around mid set as well". Do you mean
- the control moves alone (in software), so that while you do not touch the Filter knob, the software receives MIDI command as if an invisible hand was turning the knob (it is generally called jitter)
- or do you mean it is difficult to reach some values close to the centre, which is normal as there is a click at the centre (a centre detent): the difficulty to reach the values the closest to the centre is one of the reason why some tempo faders have no longer centre detent.

so that I can send you the document explaining the recalibration process.

Hello Gazing,
Jitter happens gradually on potentiometers, but
- getting jitter in 1 month is super fast,
- Inpulse 500 filter knobs have metal-shaft pots, stronger than plastic-shaft pots, so in 1 month should not occur.
Please confirm you avoid placing weights on the controller
- No latpop: a very bad habit is to place a laptop on top of fader caps /rotary caps
- No travel in the cargo hold of an aircraft unless it is in a flight case.
hello i have a problem with my right bass knob just jumping from off to high and beig all jittery when only moving it a little bit. I have this mixer for about 4 months and all of the other things work great except the headphones not working from time to time.

Hello UX team, I have a similar problem, may I get the calibration guide as well?
Hello levbak,
Welcome to the forum.
If DJControl Inpulse 500 is not well calibrated, the calibration process can restore it. If the issue is jitter (fluctuation of value) on 1 potenotiometer, maybe the recalibration process will not be completed.
