After the latest software update it seems that the Edit "E" is always on the screen, and even flickers a bit. Very strange. No matter what I do, it doesn't go away like it used to after you edited and saved. Just wondering if anyone else is having that problem. I guess it isn't really a "problem" because it doesn't appear to alter the sound(s) in any way. For me it is more annoying that anything. I'm sure it is probably some bug that was introduced. Thanks for any insight into this.

Most likely, this means that a controller potmeter is not stable. So after loading, the values is changed slightly en gives the 'E' as the patch is edited.
Might be tricky to find out which controller it is. Just fiddle with all knobs.
Perhaps you van see what parameter is changed in the display, that give away the knob that is causing the issue.

Good luck.

In the synth window I have an "E" that seems to turn on when moving from one program to another that each use a synth preset, but not when the first program is using a synth created from scratch and not saved as a preset. I thought the "E" was showing whenever the programmed synth was different than the preset it was based upon, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

I have this happening on my compact and also the synth screen randomly comes on

New Nord Stage 3 Compact 73 owner here! May I also share my experience. It's not there when I first turn on the board and play the first program, but once I switch to another one, then the "E' appears on main and the synth screen. Then it's on there for the duration the board is on.

Are you sure you change the programs (i.e. with the program button, so that you get from A:11 to A:12 or the like)? What happens if you use the Program dial to change programs?

I actually get the same behaviour, regardless if I switch programs by turning program dial or by program button.

I wondered if anyone had managed to find a solution to the Edit E not disappearing?

For me, the E appears on certain user sample based sounds that I've made. It is still there after powering off / turning on again.
I've tried moving one or two dials, saving, moving to other sounds and back again, but the E doesn't disappear.

The keyboard (Stage 3) all works / sounds brilliantly in every other respect, it's just disconcerting and makes me think sounds have not been saved when they have!

Had missed this post. I found the same thing a while ago. It must be a software bug.

This was in fact the only time I got a reply from Clavia support for having reported a bug.

In any case, this is very different than the use case described, where flickering pots, buttons or drawbars cause the system to think some parameter has been adjusted.

I agree, Eriknie addressed the original issue, but probably good to hit on both points so folks aren't searching for a bad pot, slider, or button when this occurs and is repeatable.

This happened to me as well. I factory defaulted my Nord thinking it was messed up, but after the reset it still had the edit symbol even though everything sounded fine. I turned every knob on my Stage 3 and then changed to another program and the "E" went away for good. I guess one of the knobs was in some sort of in-between state or something. I'm glad that was all it was. Hope this helps.
