Knobs ghosting/jittering on AKAI MPD218

[uio2pl]

Hi Everyone! I experienced an issue with AKAI MPD218. All knobs have a small jittering. If I set the minimum value of 0, my controller is sending a frequent signal of 0 and 1 every half second. The same for example, if I set somthing between 65 and 66. It is sending 65 or 66 all the time. Midi2lr reads each signal, so it starts lagging and the lightroom screen is flashing because of small changes of exposure etc. Any ideas how to solve it?

(hehe, joking, here it is:)
-download the mpd218 editor
https://www.akaipro.com/downloads#mpd218
-load the preset from your device
-change anything
-send the preset back to the device
-change the setting back to the original (unless you wanted to make the change anyway, i guess) and send it to the device again
.
and that's it! at least it was for me, anyway. i also reinstalled the driver multiple times, unscrewed the nuts and removed the washers, did some good ol' percussive maintenance - but seeing as those did not seem to have any immediate effect, i don't think they played a role in the fix. still might be worth a shot, if the above steps do not seem to solve it.
