It's obviously a VCO.  I cheated and looked on the synthtech website, which
says, "MOTM-520 Cloud Generator. A new type of VCO module."  The 1V/OCT, FM
input, PWM input, COARSE and FINE controls look like a conventional VCO with
sine and square (rectanglar) outputs.  But what are SPREAD, PHASE, and
CHAOS?   Are the SPREAD, PHASE, and CHAOS jacks all VC inputs?   My bet is
that they are, and the module is a VCO with a built-in timbre modulator.

I'd like to know if it has any digital circuitry and will require the
3-voltage power supply.

Ok, Paul, how about a sound sample?  Hmm?
