There are two connections from/to the arpeggiator (which is +5V
circuitry) to the OpAmp-World (which is +/-15V circuitry): The
arpeggiator resets the MG1.
MG1 feeds the Arpeggio Trigger in and the Arpeggio-Switche reset the MG1.
Since the signal at the osci is described like an cyclic enabled adress
line, I think the second option should be the suspected one. It might be
worth to interrupt this connection. It is the wire from LFO-Board
connector 6 pin 10 to uP-board connector 23 pin 10.

Btw: this is a modification I'd recommend anyway, if you do not want to
reset the arp-Clock with every new chord, that you play.
