There is one thing about Moog Modular oscillators that you should weigh before building some and that is that they are only a superior device when used in a full bandwidth system like modules that spec out like 900 series modules you can of course use them with other things with the inherent risks and occasional benefits. There are other oscillators with lower output, lower fidelity, more features, higher stability, and easier tuning and service. Now that I have a choice, I don't use mine as much anymore. You should know I started building to expand my system 15 and 55 at a reasonable price.

This expands on our personal post Dan, I know you are cloning the whole system so it doesn't apply to you in the strictest sense. I would suggest you do a sync mod to you 901s.
