Hi--
I'm hoping to hear from anyone who has specific, detailed knowledge of the
workings of the digital portion of this synth.
I have several control voltages that are completely screwed; but the
problem is definitely upstream from the four 4051 demultiplexers*. Looking
at the outputs of those four ICs in order (on schematic "Board 4, page 1 of
4"), the bad CVs form a pattern: 00X00XOO XOOXOOXO etc etc, where O= a good
CV and X= a bad one. This leads me to suspect a problem with the data or
address lines controlling the DAC and/or demultiplexers; can anyone tell
me exactly what to look for and where to look?
Everything else on the synth is functioning correctly & consistently.
Thanks.

*This was determined by removing them & testing them out of circuit; while
they were removed, I also tested each of the voice S&Hs with a known CV
and found them to respond correctly.
