It affects all oscillators at the same time. Is this a known issue in old minimoogs? I would usually suspect either power supply main voltage instability, bad caps or transistors, but being it affecting all 3 oscillators, I tend to think it is not oscillator circuit related ? :/ I'm new to minimoogs so any help would be appreciated... Thanks !
