This is true.

The Modcan "B" series has some very nice modules, including a dual
quantizer not available in their "A" series. Although, I have to
wonder why they decided to make the "B" series white. Considering
MOTM users as a potential market, that seemed like a poor business
decision. I'm not saying that modules in MOTM format from other
manufacturers should should be absolutely identical. While the
Encore modules have different sized knobs and different lettering,
they look perfectly fine installed along with Synthesis Technology's
modules, as opposed to standing out like Pee-wee Herman at the Source
Awards.

Perhaps some of the voltage ranges are different, but you can connect
them fairly easily using adapter modules or adapter cables.
