Hi Andy, thanks for your reply.
Sorry I wrote 366 instead of 367 :)

I checked all the PIO on the CN10 but this time I pressed the relatives buttons during the measurement, for example:

I put the scope on P10 and the level was 0, then I press 1-5-A-Manual and I can see the two logic states on the oscilloscope. I did this for every P on CN10 and all works fine.

So the problem should be on the 367. The board was repaired for the usual acid problem. And the original blue socket too was changed whit one with this kind of pin-holes

the board was cleaned and the broken tracks wire-jumpered.
I tested all the PIO directly connected from to the CPU to the CN and I can't find any interruption.

I have to say the synth has not any particular problem, every parameter works good. But I'd like to understand the cause of this problem (a firend of mine has this same problem too).

Do you think the problem could be caused by a malfunction of IC3 on 371?
I see P26 and P27 are directly connected on this IC.
