Woohoo! Thanks to the help of each of you, I got the SSM2044 Bit repaired! It turns out that the problem was a combination of bad TL072 op amps and one bad filter. Since I socketed the whole VCF board, I was able to switch out the TL072's until most of the voices were working, then I was able to narrow the problem and replaced one of the filters. Thanks to everyone! The CEM3328 Bit; however, still needs some work. So far, I have three voices "sort of" working. At least two of the filter ICs seem to be bad, such that when I press a key, a faint knock sound is heard on that voice, and nothing else. I'm sure that I will need a few more filters and a handful of TL072s, since rearranging these allowed me to get the first three voices working. I'm not quite sure how the lower 9 TL072s correspond to the 6 filter voices yet. One other problem is that the voices are out of tune, like the detune slider is moved, although it isn't having any effect at all. I think that one of the 4051 ICs may be at fault here. Comments?
