Virus TI Polar LED Problem.........

[suzzymackenzie]

Excuse me for diving in to a Polar thread when I have the KB version. It's just that I suspect I am noticing a similar thing with respect to the *effects* LEDs only. What I see is that effects with settings other than completely 'OFF' or 'DRY' have their LED glowing (and flickering) at about 1/3 brightness; effects that are totally OFF are unlit; and the effect that is current for editing has a solid LED. So for each of the two sets of effects, there is always one fully lit (the one that is current for editing), then a mixture of unlit and partially lit depending on settings. I assumed it was Access's intentional way of enabling us to see which effects are active (partially lit) and which of all the effects is lined up for editing.

Is this what you are seeing, and is it different from a 'bleed' problem you are seeing with some of the other LEDs?

i had the same glimmering/flickering LED issues, an these were quite distracting, espacially in a dimmed light environment.argg
many different LED's like the ones above the main config, remote and multiedit LED's were affected by this, which should actually be completely off, if not inside the edit mode or so. also some on the effects, LED's were pulsating quite strange.

but the strangest part is that when i switched to another preset, other LED's started flickering.

here is a move i've made of this

i contacted the access support, i was told that this is not normal, and my ti needs be repaired.

last week then, my TI came back from repair. they had to exchange all of the front LED-system on the board, and on the first look it seemed fine. but then, when i had a look on the effect section, i saw all led flickering around at exactly the same frequency. so the machine went back to the repairservice.
later last week they called that this was not a hardware problem anymore, that the flickering LED's on the effect part apparently was a BUG in the latest 2.7.3 firmware, and that access is working in a fix!!!

now i just hope that this is true, and not only the easiest way to get ridd of me, cause all repairs have been made under warranty... i m still pretty concerned about this...

please try 2.7.5 (available on the access website) and check back

I verified this last night. This is indeed the behavior that I was seeing on my TI Keyboard. The LEDs of the effects that are enabled but not the currently selected effect glow dimly. Good, I guess there isn't a problem after all, at least with the keyboard version!
