Tom,

maybe the normalling wire has been interrupted when you replaced the LEDs.
It's a blank wire going from the main contact of the first gate socket to
the switching contacts of the three remaining gate sockets (it leads from
JP2 of the first board to JP2 of the other three boards but crosswise: for
the upper board the solder point close to the printing "JP2" is used, for
the boards 2, 3 and 4 the solder points close to the front panel are used).

btw. you cannot measure the gate signal at the gate sockets 2, 3 and 4 as
the normalling from gate #1 is interrupted as soon as a plug is inserted
into the corresponding gate socket 2,3 or 4!

If a submodule is working as an LFO depends upon the settings of the
controls ! Not for all settings and patches an LFO is obtained. As an
example this patch/setting has to work as an LFO: EOD -> GATE IN, Attack =
5, Decay = 5, Sustain = 0, Release = 5. Changing the time parameters (A/D/R)
will change the rise and fall time of the LFO.

Best wishes
Dieter Doepfer
