It seems to be working perfectly, except that it keeps eating batteries. I put a holder for a CR2032 in there the first time around ('cause, frankly, they're easier to find than BR2325's), but after about two weeks or so the memory takes a dump 'cause the battery is dead. Apparently it's gone through a couple of batteries this way.

Any chance to measure the battery current?
I once had a similar problem (not in a synth, it was an old Atari computer). Turned out to be a leaky ceramic capacitor.
