Okay, oddest thing ever. I didn't have the right cabling, so I tested
it with a stereo 3.5mm cable I have. And as you know, the first 3
waves work but not the sine. I ordered 100 neutrik 3.5mm mono plugs
and 100ft of mogami wire. Tip: the small instrument wire from mogami
is NOT compatible with the neutrik NYS-226 connectors. The mogami
wire is 5mm thick and the neutriks are made for 4mm. Anyways I rigged
up some of my unusable mogami cable with a neutrik connector. It
wasn't pretty, I promise...but it worked for a quick test. And, with
the proper mono cable, it worked on all 4 waves!

Why is this I have no clue why 3 out of 4 wave jacks would work but
not the 4th, with the same wire... VERY weird indeed. But, all is
good, now I just have to sort out this wiring problem. :(
