[sdiy] prophet 10 memory mod?

[Oakley Sound]

 > His Prophet 10 has an issue though - he thought it had a bad battery 
as he lost all the patches.  But then he said they went away and then 
came back for awhile...

No it doesn't sound like a battery problem to me either. But, if you do 
have the original battery in there, its worth swapping it for a new one, 
because they do leak and that could cause some horrible and weird behaviour.

The Ugly Mod cures a power up reset issue that does effect the patch 
storage in the NV Ram. However, I would guess that this has already been 
done on your machine as it was found very early on I believe.

 > would this be a good trade?

I like the sound of the MM, but I also like the sound the Prophet 10. 
The two would complement each other very well.

There is also something very solid in the Prophet that the badly built 
and designed MM hasn't got. The Prophet is a joy to work on, the 
Memorymoog is living hell. The 'plus' variant with Kenton interface 
takes this hell to another level.

I think its a very good trade though and if I had the space and money I 
would take the Prophet 10.
