Dieter,

I have set up the first Quantizer without difficulty, but working on
the second has shown that the output voltage is unstable (it warbles
almost as mouch as one semi-tone. I've switched out the TL062CN and
the main processor chip (PIC16F73). I don't have the other two chips
handy to try changing. Is this a return to Doepfer case, or is there
something else I can try The problem manifests on quantizers 1 and 2
(on the same module).

Yours Aye
