HI Ken

I've asked around and am having little luck trying to sort this one.

Do you think it could be a problem with transistors here ?

Are you not able to compensate for this using the trimmer? Also make sure
your FREQ CV pot input is set to the center of its travel when you do the test.
I really don't know why this is happening. I can only guess, but it seems
that the CV mixer output voltage is too low - too "negative", requiring you
to turn the pot that far around before you reach the point where the expo
converters can respond. Is it the double sided or single sided version?
