Hi Andy,

Welcome to the forum. I haven't noticed any flickering of the display. Whatever I am doing, like programming the sequencer, the display is rock solid and crystal clear  (I have the 8 voice version). I suggest you email DSI support as soon as possible, it should not do this. They are very responsive and helpful.

Good luck.

Rock solid display here, sounds like a dodgy connection either between the power to the screen or the ribbon/carbon connector that sends the displayable data to it.

Alright mate, well I switched it off and then on again and went through all the presets and the sequencer worked on nearly all of them, so I sort of thought the problem went away and totally forgot about talking to the DSI support, but it's only now I've noticed on certain presets the problem now has returned. Anyway, I've not messaged them because I believed the problem had gone away. I'll get on this now and post any reply. if we both do the might look into it quicker.

It is well built I can't fault it at all. well apart from this, however, I've messaged support and will post the reply.
