I had problems with my glissando/portamento, but resolved after replacing all the CMOS. The chip is a simple oscillator with square wave output. A 555 or other type of oscillator comprised of comparators could be made to work in exactly the same way. It would of course be a small separate board of multiple components and not as neat as the original BA617.
So not the end of the world if your truly have a bad BA617 and cannot locate a replacement.

Thx Gavin but I couldn't locate the chip on the site you mentioned!
Is the chip's ID the one you wrote, as a whole?

If this IC is bad, it wouldn't be too difficult to find an alternative solution.
