btw, want to get this Octave "The Cat" SRM going ...

2003-11-01 by Bob Weigel

I can't recall if I mentioned in this group I have one that oscillator one
behaves strangely.  Osc 2 seems to work but isn't exactly in pitch from
octave to octave...meow....:-)  Needs a little more spread between notes.
None of the adjustments seemed to make a difference.  AND osc1 just puts out
a high pitched tone when it's switched on and keys are hit..above a certain
point.  Hence it's apparent something is quite sick with its VCO.  I went
through and just replaced pretty much all the socketed chips..most of them
since I had lots of each.  That helped envelopes to start working and some
other stuff as I recall.
   Anyway I was confused before because the diagrams I can download don't
seem to exactly match this unit.  There are these 'SIPP' type ceramic
devices I'd think were resistor arrays perhaps, but they're labelled with
some numbers then 'CKT #2' I seem to recall.  And I can't find anything that
should be where there are...anything at all...in the diagram.  Thanks, -Bob
