Hello folks,
I'm wondering if it might help to isolate the supply legs of the various
circuit sections (each VCO) by connecting their power through a low-value
resistor (10 to 100 ohms) in this manner:
small res.
Power Supply leg >-+--/\/\/\/---+----> to VCO #1
| |

| === decoupling cap
| |
| -----
| ---
| -
| small res.
+--/\/\/\/---+----> to VCO #2
| |
| ===
| === decoupling cap
| |
| -----
| ---
etc. -
I've seen this used to good effect for decoupling noisy or spike-prone
circuits such as LFO's and digital noise generators. I honestly don't know
how well it would work on such a subtle thing as oscillators soft-syncing to
each other via tiny currents, nor do I know what value the R/C network would
need to be to effectively decouple - but it might be worth a try.
