IC chips for VCO's etc

[Steven Varner]

Hi, 

I just got a Jameco catalog and was looking at the IC's.  Could some of you 
give us info on these chips if you have it (especially if you've used them for 
music applications):

74S00 series:
    74S124  16 pin  Dual Voltage Controlled Oscillators  .69

74LS00 series:
    74LS629  16 pin  Dual Volt-Controlled Oscillator      1.25

Harris/Intersil Series:
    8038CCPD  14 pin  Waveform Generator/Volt Contr Osc  3.49

Motorola Series:
    MC1496P  14 pin   Balanced Modulator/Demodulator (LM1496N)  .89
    MC1648P  14 pin   Voltage Controlled Oscillator       3.95
    MC4024P  14 pin   Dual Volt Control Multivibrator (11C24)   1.75
   
Linear:
    LF398N   8 pin   Sample and Hold Circuit             1.95
    LM566CN  8 pin   Function Generator (VCO)             .89
    MC1648P  14 pin  Voltage Controlled Oscillator       3.95
    

Also, what is a "Monolithic Function Generator" and a "Precision Wave Form 
Generator" -- there are a few of these too (probably not voltage controlled?)

ps i'm not advertising for Jameco... just saw the chips there first.  They have 
a web site BTW   www.jameco.com
