Subject: Re: one voice does not sound when VCA switch is set to EG

Okay, I've checked everything on the voice and here are the discrepencies. There is -1.2V at the junction of R218, R217, C50, and IC 35 pin 1. There is -1.2V across R217 to IC24 pin 1. There is also -1.2V at IC35 pin 2 and across the series of resistors connected to that pin from R141, R142, R143, R135 and the base of Q6.

When I hit a key to trigger this voice, D10 lights and the -1.2V on IC35 pins 1 and 2 goes up to -0.9V.

I removed IC35 from the socket (with the synth off of course) and performed additional measurements. With no IC in the socket I get -5V on pin 1 and a few mV on pin 2.

I'm not sure what to make of all this.

Thanks for any help.
