Oops. I meant pins 4 and 10, not 4 and 5.
Sorry.

One thing to mention... When you see a signal
that looks wrong at the output of

a logic gate, the first thing to do is look at the inputs to
that gate. A floating or

incorrect input can cause the output to be wrong. Also, if
the gate is being

loaded down, that can affect its output. To check for a
load issue, with the synth

powered off, measure from pin 4 to ground, and also from pin
5 to ground with a

multimeter in the ohms position. Keep the polarity of the
leads the same for

both measurements. The readings should be similar, since
both feed the INH inputs

of 4051 chips.

IC23 contains four gates. Of course, if one is bad, then
the whole chip would be

replaced. Just saying that each of the four gates has two
inputs and one output

and they act independently.
