How come this issue has started showing up now? No firmware release since March 2020... what's going on? Btw I have never had this issue on my NS3 88.

I think, it's indeed likely it has something to do with the drawbars. We will see.

Even if that's the case it's odd that's showing up now, after a year since the last firmware release. There must be quite a fair number of people with the S3 Compact running 2.54...

This started to happen to me. I have a Nord Stage 3 Compact. I have isolated it to the following...This happens exclusively on patches that are SPLIT sound, and depressing the keys hard (which can be a "morph" function" causes the E to go on. When playing lights, the "E" does not go on. This does not happen on a regular patch. But it ALWAYS happens on a split patch. Any further thoughts?

Probably not due do the fact that it is a Split patch but more likely to a Morph assigned to the Aftertouch (check that), so that when you press the key harder you trigger the AT and cause the morphed params to change, hence the "E"

max I believe morphing doesn't trigger the E to appear. It's as if it didn't count as editing in the proper sense, and no changing value is displayed either.

I think I remember on the NS2 I used to see the * (equivalent to E) shown when using the morph, even if the changing parameter(s) would not show on the display, but I may be wrong and unfortunately I no longer have my NS2 to check (so I mentioned it as a possibility and suggested our friend to check that on his NS3 directly)

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.

I am having this issue too on a full size ns3. Kinda scary. In addition to the "E" flashing the top right of the main display fasheds Mod attack .o5 ms and then FX 2 amount.

Ive turned and tweaked all the knobs. This instrument has never left the studio so it certainly is not rough handling....

Software glitch?

Has anybody solved this

I don't have it any more. Didn't find out where it had come from. I've changed to OS 2.62 meanwhile and don't use Live drawbars any more where it had appeared.
