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 1980's. 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.

This paragraph doesn't actually state which of these definitions is correct.

Hope this helps
