Slim Phatty knob problem ?

Hello,
Ive got a Slim Phatty (bought used) and Ive been loving the sound but experiencing some weird sounding aliasing / stepping / glitches using the cutoff filter knob. Sometimes the LED light seems to be kinda out of control, or not following the course of the knob.
Anyway, I just acquired a Minitaur as well. Was schocked by how smooth & creamy the filter sounds compared to my Slim. BUT, Ive just tried controlling the Slim filter with the Minitaur knobs (through my DAW) and........ Smooth and creamy it is as well !! That makes me wonder if my Slim Phatty could have some kind of knob tracking problem or something. Seems there's no problem with the SP filter since it can be smooth & creamy when controlled by my (brand new) Minitaur knobs.

What do you guys think?
Any way I could fix that? :(

Just turn the Slim's MIDI Local to off when using with your sequencer.

But the problem is, Id like to keep my Minitaur independant so I can use it for basslines and SP for leads. Would doing that fix the weird buggy knobs thingy? (I cant test right now)

It should. Sounds like you have a midi loop.
