Also the tuning of the oscillators on the Prophets just drove me crazy. They always went out of tune. I remember using one in a studio session but gave up on it. I ended up using a Roland Juno 6 instead because it was so much more stable. Also on another song in that session I tried using a Fairlight ... though despite the huge cost of them back then the 8 bit sampling left a lot to be desired. I ended up abandoning it as well and used an Oberheim OBX which was much more toneful for a bassline. This is the song that Colin Haye from "Men At Work" helped supply vocals on. Thanks so much Colin. http://synthzone.com/songs/nigel/TooManyPeople.mp3
