- Which sliders does this part replace?
- It is the slide potentiometer for the Assign sliders 1-8 on the Yamaha Tyros 4. It is one fader, so order the number you need if several are faulty.
- Will it fit a Tyros 3 or Tyros 5?
- No. It is specified for the Tyros 4. The slider assemblies differ between Tyros models, so check your model before ordering.
- Do I need to solder it in?
- Yes. The old potentiometer has to be desoldered from the board and the new one soldered in place. It is a job for someone comfortable with a soldering iron.
- Can it fix a scratchy or jumpy slider?
- A worn or dirty potentiometer is a common cause of scratchy, jumpy or dead slider movement. Replacing it restores normal travel, though cleaning the old part is worth trying first.
- Is this an upgrade over the original part?
- No. It is a replacement for the original component, so expect the same feel and response as a factory-fresh Tyros 4 slider.
