Any cure fo this?

Does Elektron entertain selling replacement set inc cross fader knob?

I had the same problem: it’s very common. You can change the knob here: https://www.elektron.se/accessories/

They appear to be out of stock unfortunately…

Not for the OT though - unless I’m mistaken.

Out of stock for the moment (I think I bought the last ones few weeks ago :wink: )

But you can go there: https://store.djtechtools.com/products/chroma-caps-knobs-and-faders

And BTW: all the elektron knobs are the same (on the OT, the MD and the AR)

I didn’t know that. The last time I had MD, it had the harder knobs.

Some knobs are less hard, indeed, it’s not exactly the same plastic, but they fit with all the Elektron machines.

Sure ! I bought black knobs for the fun, for my OT :wink:

Left the Level-Knob in grey on the OT, the rest is black, so I don´t get confused…

Where can I buy some knobs and how hard is it to replace them?

Create a support ticket on elektron.se and they’ll set up an order for you. Very simple to replace just apply some careful force pulling up on the knobs. With the replacements make sure to line up the shape on the underside of the knob with the shape of the base before putting them on

If you want a fader cap for your OT, I can recommend the gray coolorcaps one. The color matches very well with the original, and you get a lil bit more contact surface for your fingers. Just make sure you get the non-rubberized one, those shed rubbery gak all over the fader rails in use (like the DJTechTools ones)

Even black ones? And black fader? I looked on accessories and couldn’t see any for OT.

You can clean with iso alcohol it works on my Virus Polar knobs with extreme use start to get dirt and alcohol do the job really well.

most of spare parts are not listed in accessories, but you can by it.

replacing is pretty easy - just pull, get off, set the new one

What about that link to colorcaps site right above your first post? I think they have knobs that fit OT in different colors, the post states that their fader cap fits…
