[sdiy] Keyboard controller question

Hi
Some 2 years ago I built one of Ray Wilsons keyboard kontrollers (
http://www.musicfromouterspace.com/analogsynth/keybrdcontroller.html ),
I never really got it to work properly then but after replacing a few
broken ICs it now seems to be working fine except for one thing.
Whenever I release the keys the s/h voltage drops half a volt or so
resulting in the pitch dropping 5 or 6 semitones.
I dont have scope at home but it seems I am getting a small pulse at the
trigger input at IC3 (pin 13) that seems to discharge the capacitor
slightly.
I'm powering the whole thing of +/- 15 volts instead of 12 volts which
might screw things up.
I'm thinking maybe the delay for the trig pulse is to short so I have
tried larger caps for c14 and c13 but that didn't help. Though I must
confess I dont understand exactly how that part of the circuit is
supposed to work.
Any suggestions are more than welcome.
