Subject: Re: [PolySix] VCOs slightly modulated due to battery board malfunction

Next step is to begin eliminating possible causes. Lift the end of R11
to see if the effect goes away. Then lift R9. R11 carries the internal
mod signal; R9 carries the signal from the mod wheel. If the effect
continues with both of these disconnected, it's coming from somewhere else.
You then have to backtrack through the opamp buffers & demultiplexers
for the VCO control voltage.
It is sometimes possible on battery-damaged boards for a signal to bleed
through to other traces.
