Silly question maybe, but you are centring the pot when you apply an external CV? Just that if the pot were at -12V, and you apply a CV below 0, the opamp mixer isn't going to be happy trying to sum t ...

I'd disagree with the transistor tester being a gimmick. Not because I've ever needed to know Hfe, but I use it a lot to check the pinouts - 2N3904 and BC547 are different for example, but effectively ...

Weird. That suggests leakage somewhere.
I'd suggest replacing C1a and C1b - possible they may have been damaged by the excess current you previously had going through the BC557 (which would have bee ...

Very sad news indeed. Like so many others here, I too first got the synth bug from Ray's WSG and Soundlab. And without his detailed documentation I probably wouldn't have started.

I'd suspect U7 as well - its max input current is 10mA, and with U6 reversed, you might have exceeded that.

It sounds like that to me too. Try checking you've got the correct values for R220 and R279, and that you haven't got shorts around those.
