Question about tuning the Prophet 6

I recently got a used Prophet 6 that as far I can tell is in great condition. I pretty quickly noticed that some of the presets that are saved are very out of tune, some of them as much as 30 cents. It's not intentionally detuned oscillators as far as I can tell because both oscillators are equally out of tune with a tuner. And it's not even preset, so I can't fix it with the Global Master Tune. I thought maybe the previous owner had intentionally done this with certain presets somehow so I've been creating sounds from scratch and saving them as presets. But now I'm finding even two different presets that I've made from scratch can be wildly out of tune with each other.

Is there something wrong with this synth, or is this expected behaviour? Is there a way to tune individual presets? Am I missing something that could be causing this? Help!

Edit: I have run the calibration process (Preset + 0) multiple times and it doesn't solve the issue either.

Where can I buy replacement pieces for this cutlery set?

Can somebody help me find this cutlery set? I have an incomplete set and would like to complete it. Fork has "Community" and "stainless" labels in the underside.

Update: Found! Thank you so much!

Looking for synth recommendations

I am seeking the advice of the community. I play in a six piece folk-rock group, and I'm looking to add a synthesizer to my live rig. Right now I usually play a Nord Electro 3 as my single keyboard during live performances. It's a great keyboard for piano, wurli, and some organ sounds, but I'm looking to branch out to add some more textures and ambience to my sound. I'm a bit lost in what seems like an infinite selection of synths out there, and a lot of the advice I read is centered around studio gear and VSTs.

Types of parts I like to play include:

- combining with an electric guitarist to create ambient soundscapes.
- playing lead lines, harmonizing with guitar solos (currently doing this with an organ sound).
- quieter, subtle, airy, or flute-like lines behind vocal parts.

Things I'm looking for in a synth include:

- savable presets. This is a must as I need to be able to switch sounds quickly between songs. I would love if changing to a preset also physically updated all the knobs but I don't think this is a thing, at least that I can find.
- polyphony. I don't have a hard requirement here, but I'd say at least 4 voices.
- no menu diving. I've learned that I can't really get into keyboard with any menu diving, I need more or less all the sounds to be available through knobs.
- a built in keyboard. The desktop synths are great for studios, but I don't want to mess around with setting up a midi keyboard at every show.

I'm open to more or less all price ranges, I just want something that suits my needs.

Thanks!

It's been a lot of years of gaming

I tried avoiding duplicates as much as I could, otherwise Silksong would have taken up too many of these spots (what a game). I also tried to represent the variety of types of games I've enjoyed over my many years of gaming.

And when I say bad, I mean BAD. My first playthrough was probably 50 or 60 hours, with an embarrassing number of deaths. This took me so many hours and more tries than I can possibly remember (literally dozens if not hundreds), but it was so exciting that I just want to do it again.

I'll highlight some things that stand out from my many, many RUNS over the past 8 months.

Total hours played: over 500

Most deaths: Easily the Hunter's March gauntlet. This is still one of the scariest parts of the whole run for me. Nothing is scarier than running around Pharloom with only 5 masks. But I got better at it by doing it only after getting Swift Step.

Earliest death: Moss Mother (only once).

Latest death: The furthest I had progressed in the main storyline when I died was the first void gaunlet in The Cradle right after I got the Steel Soul achievement. Later runs I was doing a lot more before entering Act 3 since I wasn't also going for the Steel Soul achievement, but honorary mention to the time I fell into the spikes in Bilewater after picking up the mask shard past the slubberlugs while trying to complete Trail's End. A valuable lesson was learned there, which is to always overdose when going into Bilewater.

Closest calls: I my final run I forgot to do the Forebrothers fight in the second act and I broke my Fractured Mask and didn't get another heal until I managed to kill the first brother. I also beat Gurr The Outcast and Raging Conchfly with only one mask. Those really got the heart pumping.

Winning build: I think every crest is great and fun in their own way, but I became a Hunter's crest main when I was getting the speedrun achievements. Fractured Mask and Magnetite Dice were always on for me. Once the tool pouch capacity is maxed, Lifeblood and Shell Satchel became a very common combo since you can easily overdose with it with any crest. Outside of those I'd switch it up based on context, but Volt Filament, Cogflies, and Curveclaw/sickle were all mainstays. I also enjoyed using every Silk Skill this run depending on what I was facing (even Rune Rage!). And I decided to use Egg of Flealia for the first time ever to beat Lost Lace since I figured I could use a lot of Silk Skills while overdosed.

Anyway, I'm super proud and I hope that if you feel like the Steel Heart achievement is out of reach for you, maybe this post will inspire you to give it a try!
