Subject: Notes go out of pitch

Hi all,
I'm the proud new owner of a Polysix. I love it! Can't take my hands
off those knobs - the filters are just great! But I'm having a
problem with it and I'm hoping someone can tell me what it's about
and maybe even what can be done...
After I've played the synth for a while, notes start to go out of
pitch every now and then. It happens randomly every 10-30 sec or so.
The notes go off pitch with a note or so and always jump or slide
back to the original pitch again within half a second.
At first I thought it was some filter setting of mine that caused
it, but as it turns out I get this no matter how the Poly6 is
programmed (or if I use a preset or a fresh "manual" sound). (By the
way, it takes about 20 minutes for the unit to get in perfect tune
after a cold start. Don't know if that's normal or if it's related
to this problem in any way).
I'd be truly grateful for any help!
Peter
