It would be highly interesting how those of you solved their problem who reported about some distortion (immediate, regular or occasional occurences). I'm quite curious to know how it turned out. And bgorman, what are you intending to do? Contact Australian distributor, send back to dealer, verify problem?

Close enough! (Like telling a German to contact the dealer in Libya as the crow flies.)

I really didn't pay enough attention on the flags. Even didn't know they are so close. I will look it up next time - as I certainly won't remember the exact difference. Eurocentric mind.
Probably even this 7-differences page is from a european perspective: https://www.trafalgar.com/real-word/dif ... w-zealand/

I have a stage 3- it started badly distorting the piano sounds after 1-2 hours of playing during gigs. Powering down sometimes help for a little while sometimes it doesn't.
If I play the keys very very lightly it seems to be OK, almost like it has to do with the after touch function.
This basically makes the board unusable for gigging.

The board has had minor issues from pretty much the start.. ghost lights on the drawbar inidcators that are syncronized with the volume pedal, high F key is way louder than others, broken key the first gig I used it. Very limited support, very disappointed in general... probably will be replacing with Yamaha which never gave me problems.
