I´d eventually opt for Wine Country.
I had 2 Prophet 5 in the past, both were midified out of the factory and I think that was Wine Country MIDI.
Compared to other instruments, MIDI in Prophet 5 is slow and hanging notes might occur because the Z80 processor scans the internal keyboard, the controls in edit mode (rev. 3 is in edit mode always !) and incoming MIDI simultaneously.
The update cycle is not fast enough and the processor is slow anyway.
Most problematic,- there might be hanging/stuck notes you never played.
I did heavy touring w/ my Prophets and sold ´em because of that behaviour which was out of the users control.
In a studio, this might be not so important.
I have no experience if a Kenton MIDI changes the issue because it might be related to the SCI firmware/OS too.

Hi everyone,
Im wondering about installing a midi kit in my p5. As far as I can see there are two options; Wine Country or Kenton.
It seems to me that Winecountry is cheaper, easier to install and perhaps more reliable, but Kenton has more controlling options such as frq and reso. (Dont know if WC has those options.)
Anyone with experience who would like to share their finds?
All the best
Thor
