Pulling the control positive for Osc 2 Env creates this strange band-modulated sort of thing as the oscillator sweeps down, then pulling the slider negative, instead of creating a rising pitch like the other oscillators, starts with silence and fades in. Detune doesn't do anything at all, and Vibrato creates some sort of waveform that's different from the other 5 oscillators and just plain wrong. By itself - unmodulated - the oscillator runs and tracks just fine.

Hi Paul , I agree with You .
I do not know Eric did all service check !
I think that swapping out the two 4051's is a great idea.
