I'm suprised that none of the gadget heads gave answer to this...
I ∗think∗ your problem has something to do with how the oscillators are
tracking voltage over the octave. You need a voltage meter & an
oscilliscope to set it up properly. From what I understand the heat sink
isn't of enough mass and overheating quickly effects the tuning.
But don't ask me I'm just a freaking piano player that had the opportunity
to be blown away by a Prophet-5 somewhere around the age of 15.
