Martin,
I think it just means that the compensation does not work to 100%
(Nothing works to 100%, after all !). Temperature changes slowly
inside the enclosure when you power the synth up, so there you have
the slow change. Most of it is compensated by the chip, and the remaining
error is what we hear. As temperature rises over time, it approaches the
temperature at which you have made your last tuning adjustment.
Makes sense for me, even if there would be nothing such as temperature
gradients across the chip.
JH.
