<p>Hey gang!</p>
I am finishing a restoration on my good old Korg Minikorg 700S. I
got it some 30 years ago and in fact, I think some of the front
panel switches never worked properly before... now that I opened and
cleaned every switch and slider, it indeed works so much better.
However, two issues still remain: one, engaging the "Bender" switch
takes it ou of tune: pressed keys never reach their intended
frequencies; not sure if this is by design or not. Actually, holding
a note and engaging Bender takes its frequency down. And two,
releasing a key when Sustain (in fact, Release) is turned on makes
the pitch slooowly slide down, almost like a pitch bend being
applied to the note. Holding a key maintains the pitch, but soon as
it is released, the pitch decays.<br

<p>I already checked all resistors and replaced every capacitor
around the Keio VCO module, but it made no difference. Has anyone
ran into such issues before?</p>
