LM748 uses positive rail as an input on a 1980's UK sound effect generator. Is this an old trick that I've never seen?
TP9 is a +/-15V signal from a VCO.
The signal to the base of Q7 is 0 - 10V from another card that is presumed to be basically DC.
The multiplier AR11 has a sound coming from an LFSR circuit on another ...
