Confusion Over Terminology
The term "digitally controlled oscillator" has been used to describe the combination of a voltage-controlled oscillator driven by a control signal from a digital-to-analog converter, and is also sometimes used to describe numerically controlled oscillators.
This article refers specifically to the DCOs used in many synthesizers of the 1980s. These include the Roland Juno-60, Juno-106, JX-3P, JX-8P, and JX-10, the Korg Poly-61 and Poly 800, and some instruments by Akai and Kawai.

Famous quotes containing the word confusion:
“Behind her was confusion in the room,
Of chairs turned upside down to sit like people
In other chairs, and something, come to look,
For every room a house has parlor, bedroom,
And dining room thrown pell-mell in the kitchen.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
