I vaguely remember that now. I was amazed that it only comes out of
the op amp, not the vca. So it must feed back in somehow through that
return line or something. THe schemos are a little hard to piece
together as to where various wires go so I was focusing on the other
problems. Whatever the problem with the osc 1 not showing up on one
of the assigned notes then... that's probably causing the honk.

Meanwhile...anybody know of a right panel source at all? I see no hope
for that one. -Bob
