Hi to all !!!

When I playback in repeat a midi track (recorded, uploaded or written to midi grid) to Sequential Prophet 5 Desktop Module, it plays correctly the whole track about 3 times, then skips some notes, after plays correctly, then skips some notes again, and so on ...

When I playback through Arturia Keystep connected to mpc live2 or using the mpc pad sequencer there is not such an issue. There is also no issue when I use midi grid playback with Sequential OB6 Desktop Module.

Do you have any recommendations or possible solutions?

Reminds me of my very first Synth - Sequential 6-track - YEAAHHH
This sounds very much of "Note Steal". The Prophet has 5 voices is basic layout. Note steal is very likely if rapid data flows into the machine.
Try shorten the notes to a blip - does it still happen?

Just checked - there seems to be an issue:
