[sdiy] Prophet 5 rev2 conundrum

[Luís Marka]

Not sure if it helps since the electronics are different, but I had an 
issue with autotune in 2 voices on my Memorymoog clone. Turns out the 
Glide time trimpots for those voices was adjusted too high, and the CV 
injected into the VCOs was showing a slope when switching between the 0 
/ 5 / 10V CV during the autotune routine, messing up the frequency 
counter and making autotune impossible. Readjusting the trimpot solved 
the problem (in the Memorymoog, each glide trimpot affects 2 voices). 
Maybe you could investigate how that particular voice reacts to 
frequency CV during autotune?

Cheers!
