Subject: Re: Master tune + Mod wheels not working

Hi Andy,

I meant to say that MG section works in VCF and VCA mode but not in VCO mode. The synth itself plays fine but it is detuned without the possibility to be tuned. And yes, I am the person who was having problems with the board after it was repaired. But I would rather avoid dealing with that repairsman again.

Thanks,
Milan
