Hi,

I've been using a Hewlett-Packard function generator as an oscillator in my
MOTM for now (until I get a couple more paychecks under my belt and can get
a couple 300s). I don't even have CV stuck into the back to vary
frequency--just that big ol' knob on the front. Who needs a stinkin'
keyboard when you have a knob? ;)

Anyway, I keep the signal waaay down (all the way actually), and I've not
blown up any of my equipment (I actually did test it first--I don't have
documentation for it as it was a surplus buy). Is there any forseeable
problem using it with my MOTM? And forgive my ignorance, but what are the
basic differences between function generators and oscillators? I must
confess, I really like the sound of it as an oscillator, and of course it
has a good selection of waveforms (two pulse, square, sine, triangle, ramp,
ramp reverse) and excellent range.

Thanks!
