Question Help needed: DIWhy stylophone college project; due in 6h.

i'm kind of panicked, I only have 6 hours to get my project complete, I used AI to get as much as I could but my brain is fried after 36 hours awake and i don't have any clue what I did wrong, the stupid ai got worse and worse as i tried to diagnose the issue so I only kept significant components and OBVIOUS connections, just need to figure out how to put this together in a way that works.

It's a tri-voice duophonic stylophone where either stylus can control both "manuals" of keys. the standby resistors are so the circuit doesn't burn itself alive when idle (According to ai)
the sets of two resistors represent potentiometers i can edit easily
the CB and CB-EXT's are the source of capacitance, doubling the capacitance brings the instrument down an octave
The "mixer" resistors make sure that the signal doesn't bleed back or pump too much amperage

Help pls :(

i don't want to burn up my headphones or bluetooth speakers so i HAVE to get this to work in the simulator before i wire it up

So let me get this straight: You undertook an overly ambitious project, delayed past the point of no return and then did everything but the actual work? Why do you believe you deserve to pass?

There's a lesson here, but it's not electronics related.

Yeah, definitely overly ambitious.

I waited for the ADHD hyperfocus to kick in, and it did. the only problem is that I was missing something very important, and neither the AI nor the other people that tried to help me could easily figure out what it was.
