Not only are all of the voices in the "panel" position working, but also in both the "memory 2 and 4" positions! Just in the fixed PRESET ones  MIX II...  
I have tested the way you indicated to me: all of the voices work, in PANEL position, both only sine (no VCF) and pulse and sawtooth. 
I have also checked the wire connections between BA and T54 , and between T54 and M21. All are ok. 
Mistery.
