Crossfire, I have the same problem with the +2 transpose light on a TI Keyboard I just bought (and upgraded to 2.7.5 OS). It blinks at about 50% brightness and particularly I've noticed it's exactly in-sync with the Edit/Config button lights. I've also noticed that when I select +2 transpose the phaser light glows very dimly. Some strange problems, I also hope that they are not hardware issues..

You´re describing exactly the same issue, I have. I´ve already got in touch with access tech support, and they told me, this problem is however, hardware related, and my TI needs to be fixed. Only positive thing is, that the LED flickering problem is purely optical, and should not affect sound behaviour of the machine. I think the synth is too expensive to excuse these bugs, so i´m sending it to repair next week.

I got the same response from support as you did. However, today I installed OS3 Beta and it looks as though they've put a workaround in the firmware for this issue. I can see the Transpose +2 light glowing slightly, but they seem to have made it very dim and it doesn't pulse (well, if you look verrrry closely you can notice it blink just a tad). I was going to send my unit in for repair, but now I'm not sure it's worth it. Thanks, Access!

I too have this issue and have had it since I bought the unit last July. My transpose +2 LED is constantly lit. Yes, I have seen firmware updates change the look, but it has never totally gone away. I emailed Access Support and they told me it is a flaw, however only a cosmetic one and it would have no ill effect on the operation of the unit. I am happy to say that my unit works as should, though I haven't really pushed it to extremes either. The LED being constantly lit did bother me, but now I am used to it.
