Hi Folks,
On this 2-Voice unit. We are talking about the Digital Version vs. 
Analog TVS-1a?

I was digging out my schematics to take a look and remembered we built 2 
flavors of KBD. Controllers and 2 different flavors of the Mini-Sequencers.

just checking to make sure I read your question about the TVS-1A 
Keyboard correctly.

best regards,

Terry Shultz
