Maybe I am missing something obvious but does anyone else notice that the digitones leds are flashing all white about every 10 minutes when the device is switched off and even when the power plug is pulled out?
Please let me know.
Thanks
Elektron light house feature to guide you in the night…but you must move slowly, every ten minutes.
Seriously, did not see this, strange

Same issue here! Mine is flashing every 2:30 minutes… check it out: [Fixed!]
they’re communicating with the mothership…

Can understand that could be funny, but I need to know if it’s a faulty unit 
my opinion… a check with the elektron does it, maybe you open a ticket, it was a problem of internal power supply that could deteriorate with time!
It doesn’t happens to me, but it’s the same flashing I see when switch on the unit.
Thanks! Could it be… I’ve tried all kind of stuff, also swapped the external power supply from digitakt to digitone… same issue. Seems to be an internal issue of the digitone.
Fixed at last! Faulty multi power strip!! Digitone not switched off from the on board power button, probably was receiving some interference!

Same here. Sorry should have posted this solution earlier but I thought that this is such an unique issue that nobody would actually care. Weird
Ok, this is odd. I just observed the same with my Machinedrum and Monomachine which are powered via a Furman M-10xE. When the Furman is switched off, the 
and 
both flicker every other minute or so. None of the other devices powered from the Furman which I leave switched on show this behavior.
Anybody got an idea what is happening here, electrically?
(and don’t tell me it’s caused by rogue elektrons… haha)
if you turn the elektron boxes off from the actual unit does it still happen?
Sorry for the late reply.
No, if the units are switched off, they don’t flash.
This is supposedly caused by the “polarity” of the ungrounded power supplies. Simply try turning the plug in the socket 180 degrees and see if it gets resolved. The issue is the simple power switch, that breaks only one of those two wires in the circuit. If it breaks the phase, all is fine. If it breaks the neutral, the power still flows into the device.
More precise approach would be to go through the whole chain of power distribution before and making sure that the phase and neutral contacts don’t get flipped between the conditioners, switches, extension cords or whatever you got there.
Depending on where you live, even grounded devices with non-symmetrical plugs might be wired incorrectly - i.e. in Czechia (and France), we have phase in the left hole of the wall socket, while most west countries have it on the right. So I only buy power distributors with Schuko sockets these days, so I can plug all types of plugs in either polarity.
Also, if you ever feel weird electric buzz when touching some devices, it’s the 50/60 Hz AC leaking through the power source into the device, which is generally caused by the same thing - the phase and neutral being flipped around in the power chain.
(Disclaimer - Gemini told me so)

It’s true. 
Turning the plug can help but not always… it depends on the design of the PSU.
