okay, will try that.

Got that, that works now.

Hum, will try that tomorrow -- i just finished the whole cabling
stuff (except the "Waveshape Pot", where i am puzzled up, where to
connect it..

middle pin to PCB (SPW)
left side (CCW) to Ground
right side (CW) to SP+

am i right with this assumption ?


Not to forget ... i still have the "have-to-touch TL072" thingie
before the VCO works, anybody got a _good_ idea of that ? it works
after touching,
even CV works (was using FM AC instead of CV, because CV is not wired
100% right ..

Thanks again for any help -- i think i've got good waymarks to the
final end :-)
