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!
