Yes, you can combine them. What were you planning to do with the 2nd VCO, some sort of ring modultion as well? Cheers, graham ... LFO circuits and ... VCO's?...

Yes, they will. Actually, you'll get some unique sounds out of it if the LFO rates are set at different rates to each other. Cheers, Graham ... combine...
