i recently got a prodigy. after playing my rogue for a year, the prodigy is pretty wonderful... with the rogue i had a lot of problems with the 2nd oscillator drifting. some live shows i couldn't get it in tune at all. the prodigy so far seems to be doing better, though i'll be surprised if it doesn't go all to hell the first muggy bar we play in.
so when i brought the prodigy in to get cleaned and checked out, i asked what tricks could be done to fix an unstable oscillator.
the tech mentioned replacing the original oscillators with "crystal" oscillators. now, i'm no expert, but i assume that would completely change the tone of the moog... still the idea of a moog that never goes out of tune is tempting. does anyone know anything about "crystal" oscillators?
