About an hour to be stable!..... Actually, 15 mins was about right. The
Prodigy was the same. "Heated Chip Technology" Norlin called it! When
you switched the Prodigy on, the pitch would slowly rise for about a
minute, then swoop down and lock on to onto pitch, and that was
supposed to be in tune. In reality, pitch drifted for a good 15 minutes
after the moment of 'locking', but after that was relatively stable.
Our Model D wanders around for a bit then is as solid as a rock,
although whether that's a Moog characteristic, or a Norm tweak, I have
no idea!
