Members Logicat Posted July 19, 2009 Members Share Posted July 19, 2009 Scenario : i'm making a minimal techno track by using the Per4mer for 2 parts. As every Saturday, i have to move the damn dust from my gears. I gently pass the wipe across the Per4mer's surface, trying to not touch the ultra-sensitive knobs. Something goes wrong. Outcome : the track doesn't sound anymore as previously I'm trying to re-program the part (2 oscs) which is sounding bad, but it was a someway "perfectly" detuned timbre, with a bite of oscillator's modulation via LFO...It was so tasty, i hope it's not going to be lost for ever, i've yet sequenced half of the track and now it is sounding weird because of this Considering the basic structure of the Per4mer, i can't imagine what people using big modulars think/do when this happens to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Swami Digital Posted July 19, 2009 Members Share Posted July 19, 2009 Use compressed air to get dust off when the knobs are in a sensitive position! -D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Allerian Posted July 19, 2009 Members Share Posted July 19, 2009 I use a cheapie 4" painter's brush. Works wonders over a cloth and doesn't turn the knobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Logicat Posted July 20, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 20, 2009 Uhm...Quite nice ideas i've heard here...I could have some problems keeping an air compressor near the Per4mer, but the brush tip is nice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flat earth Posted July 20, 2009 Members Share Posted July 20, 2009 +1 on feather duster. I have tried compressed air, but its sometimes next to useless on ingrained dust. I go over my synths about once every fortnight, you can be quite brutal with a feather duster. Its perfect for cleaning large concentrated clusters of knobs, like on my Q.
