[A6] Oscillator flaws

Hi all!
I've discovered what seems a hardware flaw in my A6 oscillators. I'd like to
hear what
you experience when reproducing this really crankie bug:
On the oscillator of your choice, set up both square and triangle outputs on
(saw and sine
off), pulse width above 80%, no PWM, and turn sub-oscillator mix to the
maximum. Now
start playing while you increase square output level from it's 50% default
level to the max.
Well, here it is... on my unit this setup causes a suddent pitch fall when i
reach the
maximum square output level, and this flaw is different in magnitude from
voice to voice.
It turns out that only 4 voices handle this situation flawesly, in fact only
one voice (no. 2)
stays perfectly in tune... out of 16 voices!!. When I set rotary assignement
of voices, my
A6 plays sort of an arpeggio when switching from voice to voice, and if I
try unison all
voices, then emerges a really beautiful and dense 'kind of major' chord from
only one
keyboard note. Finally, when I try the other oscillator, i find pretty the
same flaw
magnitude on the same voices!
I've been unable to find more combinations between waveforms outputs in
which the flaw
manifests. If I turn on sine, or saw, or narrow down pulse width then it
sweeps to normal
pitch.
Please, post some comments about this.
Thanks!
