Temperature fluctuations,the Memory Moogs were terribly unreliable instruments anyway,they suffered problems with Heat dissapation,they have one of the largest Heatsinks on the Back panel ever fitted to a synthesizer,A heatsink this size is usually fitted to amplifiers...so it just shows you the issues they had with trying to keep the Circuits at a steady temperature by removing the excess heat generated,add to that the Fluctutations of temperature throughout the Performance in the Theatre,recipe for a very Unstable Memory Moog..Something Jarre can do nothing about..as we can see.He would have been better to stop playing it ,then retune it after it had cooled slightly,trying to tune it whilst still playing is adding Electricity resistance to the circuits which generate the heat.
