NS3 Screen flashing Edit symbol, Drawbar settings at random

Example Of Issue
(8.4 MiB) Downloaded 188 times
Latest OS, rock solid until today - my Stage 3's screen is now constantly and randomly flashing the Drawbar icons and the E (Edit) symbol when nothing is happening for either of those components. Very distracting. Keyboard still plays but this worries me as to what's actually going on. Example movie uploaded at https://www.dropbox.com/s/j6rhxdechmla5 ... 3.mov?dl=0 if interested in viewing. Appreciate any and all thoughts here.

This has happened to me as well, and just started recently. Updated to latest OS when it was released. It is not constant, but happens once in a while. Very strange-

The only thing I can think of is that it looks like maybe the on switch for the Organ engine is faulty. Are the 4 split points lights and the LED for the Level of the organ section lighting up as well when the drawbars show up in the OLED display? Does unexpected behavior only happen with the organ section?

The fact that the Editing symbol turns on-and-off somewhat independently might indicate an issue somewhere else.

This is probably some button or dial in the organ section that jitters - i.e. alternates between two values.

Try to exercise all of them and see if it at least temporarily goes away.

Have noticed the same thing on my Stage 3 Compact (rev A), but not in my Stage 3 88 (rev B). There was no impact on the functionality, sounds and others though, so I did not pay much attention to it

Those of you experiencing this: Are you all on a compact model with drawbars?

I'm wondering if the drawbars reading has changed and is more sensitive to small changes. Have you noticed if the settings reflects all the saved ones or some of the physical drawbars take over?

Yes it appears on my compact with Drawbars, not on my NS3-88, and it does not affect the sounds, it’s just appearing on the display

I have this effect now, too: Drawbar settings flashing up while playing every now and then. Playing around with the single drawbars didn't help. Compact model here, too. Haven't been playing much in the one year I've got the instrument: Some dozen hours, with drawbars only recently playing in live mode.
