The kbd-interface is buffered. If you have it set up 0-3.99V
(4 oct) and one octave = 1V, you shouldn't have any 
problems. By this I mean connect your meter to the kbd 
output and press the first key (might be A might be C) does 
it  = 0V? Is an octave up = to 1V, 2-oct = 2V...ect. without
being connected to your VCO. If it is, the problem is not 
your keyboard.
