Kind of like any vintage polysynth, so I've heard. :) The only analog
poly I've owned for a significant amount of time is the MKS-80. It
would also drift with changes in temperature and phases of the moon,
but like Colin said, its tune routine is really fast so you don't
notice as much. :)

If the temperature is stable and the synth is warmed up, I can keep
temp tune and auto tune off. Makes for a nicer sound to me. But the
vast majority of the time I have to keep temp tune on. Rarely, I have
to actually turn on the autotune function when things really get out
of whack. Sort of kills the sound when I do that, though.

It would be nice if the A6 tuning routine was as fast as say the 
MKS-80's, kind of sucks to kill the A6 for a whole song mid-set when
tuning issues happen. At least MIDI out is active while tuning!
