Re: [PolySix] VCOs slightly modulated due to battery board malfunction

2015-08-10 by klosmon

Next step is to begin eliminating possible causes.  Lift the end of R11 
to see if the effect goes away.  Then lift R9.  R11 carries the internal 
mod signal;  R9 carries the signal from the mod wheel.  If the effect 
continues with both of these disconnected, it's coming from somewhere else.
You then have to backtrack through the opamp buffers & demultiplexers 
for the VCO control voltage.
It is sometimes possible on battery-damaged boards for a signal to bleed 
through to other traces.
