Hi Fernando.

It certainly seems like a problem with the first voice card for channel
II (M21). It's weird that it's OK from panel and not presets. Here's a
couple of ideas to narrow it down:
On the panel, turn off VCF level and put Sine level at maximum. Verify
all voices work ok.
Now turn down Sine and turn up VCF. Turn on pulse wave but turn off
sawtooth. Verify all voices.
Finally, turn off pulse and turn on sawtooth and repeat.
Let us know if that shows anything interesting.

David
