[sdiy] Prophet 5 issue - any advice ?

[harrybissell at wowway.com]

Just FYI

The rev 2 prophet had 120 trims in the instrument... the 3.2 has only 80.
Many of those were removed from the poly-mod section. I added twnety of them
back to make the poly-mod MUCH more consistant from voice to voice.

The auto-tune will not be able to compensate the poly-mod section, afair
it is not even connected.
