Done :-)

This was ugly: it was not the pulswidth itself, but the saw (from which 
the pulswidth signal is derived) was not a saw but a spiked saw, which 
was caused by a broken CD4052.
The JP4 (like the SH-7) uses a VCO, which covers only the range of the 
keyboard + the bender, but not the full range including the keyboard 
transpose switch and the VCO octave switching. The latter functions are 
achieved by dividers after the initial VCO. The divided core frequency 
triggers a waveform shaper. For each octave setting the current, which 
feeds this shaper, is controlled by different resistors which again are 
switched via the mentioned CD4052. This 4052 had all gates shorted for 
the X-half of its switches (the 4052s Y-half still worked). So the saw 
shaper got much too much current and the saw was too short for the 
frequency. Which again led to a very narrow pulse wave.
