Difficult to find out what's wrong. As the upper section is OK it could be
one of these:

defective OpAmp (TLC274)
defective DAC (TLC5620)
contact problem of the trig in socket: an internal trigger signal is fed to
the switching contacts of the trig in sockets, if this signal is interrupted
because of a faulty switching contact the quantize will stop (if the
quantization works with an external trigger it's probably a problem with the
switching contact of the trig in socket)

Best wishes
