Okay, oddest thing ever.  I didn't have the right cabling, so I tested
it with a stereo 3.5mm cable I have.  And as you know, the first 3
waves work but not the sine.  I ordered 100 neutrik 3.5mm mono plugs
and 100ft of mogami wire.  Tip: the small instrument wire from mogami
is NOT compatible with the neutrik NYS-226 connectors.  The mogami
wire is 5mm thick and the neutriks are made for 4mm.  Anyways I rigged
up some of my unusable mogami cable with a neutrik connector.  It
wasn't pretty, I promise...but it worked for a quick test.  And, with
the proper mono cable, it worked on all 4 waves!

Why is this?  I have no clue why 3 out of 4 wave jacks would work but
not the 4th, with the same wire...  VERY weird indeed.  But, all is
good, now I just have to sort out this wiring problem.  :(
