This view has been expressed here before, but looking at the
schematics I would say there are more differences than similarities.
For example, the exponential converter in the Rogue is quite
different to that in the A-110, presumably bringing differences in
temperature stability with it. The A-110 uses the 'transistor oven'
method to make it temperature-stable; the Rogue seems to be using a
voltage generated by one transistor in the chip as a reference used
by the transistors driving each oscillator, and also that for the
filter cut-off. How stable this makes it I do not know, I have not
attempted to check the detail, nor how similar this is to the A-110
stability. However from the schematics, it's clear the two methods
are quite different.

But, whatever: designing a highly-stable analogue oscillator is quite
tricky, and unless you spend an inordinate amount of time, effort and
money on it, the chances are the oscillators are likely to drift over
many hours of continual use. The trick is really to keep this within
a level such that it is seen as 'acceptable', rather than a pain-in-
the-butt to have to keep re-tuning.
