Thanks, it's great that you have these and other such ICs. It seems these VCOs can be in a state where they are working but not able to meet the specs. I had one which couldn't make the top octave frequencies are some whose scaling has drifted. I will see how my customer feels about it, and let you know if I need anymore.

So the problem is with the IG00153 VCO chips you think? I still have a few in stock if you want any...

Hi. Thanks for your reply. On your advice I did replace the caps on the S/H board which got rid of some unwanted crackling. Then went back and re-calibrated the power supply, S/H and KAS boards. Which I had already done, but the tolerances are small and some were out. Also the transposition gate zeroing on each voice shifted a bit (0mv between cp6 and EK). The tuning was then better, but still three or four voices were 20 or 30 cents flat on the lower octaves on the 8 and 16 feet ranges. Eventually I tried swapping the VCO chips around and found the fault moved with the VCOs. So I think I cannot improve it any more.
