Now its loose, its going to stay that way. Be nice to it, perhaps like me it took you a long time to earn the money to own it. If you want to go wild with the knobs use a foot pedal connected to filter cutoff input plug or make a pot, metal box and cable to plug into it instead. Jean Michel Jarre demonstrates it on the video accompanying the Oxygene 30th anniversary. You can freak your home made pot as much as you like and chuck it if you trash it.
May or may not be your problem, but check the set screw on the knob and make sure it’s tight ( if you don’t know it’s the little hole on the side of the knob, a small jewlers or eyeglass screw driver will work fine )
