I think this is likely a garden-variety MIDI issue, so I'm not yet sending this to Support, but... in recent days my Prophet 6 has been losing audio. Meaning, after a while working fine, the audio goes silent. Just now, after I powered the synth back on, I I had around 10 minutes before the synth went silent.

I use my P6 as master controller and did rejig things a few days ago. I'd been having problems with MIDI routing, but it turned out only to be a defective MIDI cable. Still, all my blind rewiring (MIDI is a mystery to me, still...) seemed to have knocked a few other things out of whack - my Trigon went wobbly and out of tune, requiring a pitch/mod wheel calibration.

I don't know if this is also to do with Logic, or what.

Is there at least a recommended clean start approach to trouble-shooting all this?

(For what it's worth, the P6 is still outputting MIDI notes - I can see the notes listed in Logic as I hit the keys on the synth...)

Someone over on reddit is claiming that their 2017 and 2023 Pro-6s sounds "completely" different, i.e., there is more bass and better HPF resonance on the newer version. They suggest this is due to chip changes during production.. This honestly sounds bogus to me since it hasn't been documented anywhere, but it's a strong claim.. anyone noticed any differences/have any further evidence of this?

Interesting claim  Changes in production happen fairly often, especially with something like the Prophet-6 which has been manufactured for over 8 years. Parts can get EOL'd or might get hard to get, new versions become available, parts get priced out, and so on. With that said, there have been no changes to the core voice of the Prophet-6/OB-6. Slight variation is expected unit to unit given the density of components in the signal path, and on an older unit things like age, component tolerance, or use might have a slight impact as well. They're still built in SF, from serial 1 to... whatever we are at now!
