Adding a second Oscillator to a Moog Opus 3

[Tony Clark]

   Yes, but typically cheaper than you could buy another Opus 3 for 
(which is what you'd have to do to double the sound, no?).

> Any comments on how (or if I should) proceed?

   Get the schematics, the parts, and start breadboarding!

> Is an additional oscillator worth it?

   In your case, maybe so.  Be the first person to find out!

> Will it fatten up the sound significantly?

   Well certainly richer sounding.  Not sure about "fat".  "Fat" is 
subjective, evidently.  Look on the side of your keyboard for the 
nutrition label.  That should help you determine fat content.  ;)
   Seriously though, you failed to mention something.  Where are you 
going to put the extra controls?  Moogs are notorius for the circuit 
board across the whole front panel, and I think that's going to be a big 
factor in how easy it will be to implement the second oscillator.

   Good luck,

   Tony
