Re: Hi from Italy!

2008-08-12 by erikfromhere

My guess would be the saw- and/or pulse-gate is always open. Try 
replacing the FET6 or FET7 (2SK30) or TR6 or TR7 (2SA561). However, 
you say the waveform can be heard even when the vcf-volume is 
closed. Then I would say the sinewave is not a pure sinewave. Does 
the waveshaper output a perfect sine ? You'll need a scope for that 
on pin 2 of ic9. Or does vca3 (IG00151) distort the sine-wave ? Try 
replacing vca3...
Good luck.
