Did you check the j-wires, the connectors?

what do you mean by j-wires!!?!

i checked the wires from the keycontacts to the circuitboard and the 
flat multi colored cable with the plug (j-wires?) from the 
circuitboard an on... it seems OK!!

cheers! Daniel

The J-wires are the keycontacts.
Are they all under the busbar? I mean, maybe one of them is making a 
constant contact.

Eric.

Sounds like either a shorted keying diode or keying chip, whichever it uses.
I don't have a print in front of me, but that's where I would look first if
the key contacts are ok.

You ought to get an oscilloscope..
Check z24 and z23.
If nothing changes at z24 then the logic part in front of z24 is gone.

Hi Daniel,

You could try moogville for a service manual at www.moogville.net

Hi Moogy,
 
You should try to check the CV/GATE circuit. It's possible there's a short circuit. Also verify the j-wires from the keybord.
 
Cheers,
 
Akira

Re: arp pro soloisy, not working!!! playing the same note...

On my Arp Axxe, I had the same problem with the last 10 notes or so. 
It would scale up until I got to a certain note, and then all notes 
above that were the same.

The fix- One of the key contact wires was forced under the top bus 
bar. Since the bottom wire was free, the other notes would still 
trigger fine. But since the lower notes take precedence, it wouldn't 
play any notes above what was stuck.

Easy fix. Literally took seconds.

Good luck,
