   Hi,

   I did some extensive testing with the MAT-04, and yes, you will get 
VCO interaction.  It will come in the form of a sync which will happen 
when the frequencies are close to each other.  A lot of synths suffer 
from this problem anyway due to the fact that they typically run the 
transistor current source directly from the power supply rails!  I think 
the ASM suffers from this anyway, so my guess is that you won't suffer 
any additional drawbacks by using a MAT-04 over two MAT-02's.
