understanding this oscillator

hi everyone
I have this schematic laying around, and I'd like to know how it works (if it does something)

it should be an oscillator (square + triangle, selectable with the switch). all the variable resistors are trimmer, not pot. Opamps are powered with +15V and -15V
I'd like to know how it works, in general, and then I have those questions:

1) what input should be used for FREQUENCY and DEPTH? a DC value between 0V and 5V?
2) what's the max and min frequency for this oscillator?
3) what we can expect on the output?

many thanks

thats a huge oscillator schematic compared to what you see in the average pedal. the +/-15 is pretty common in MOTM format modular synth. you might want to post on muffwiggler DIY section where people have already built it and use it.

If the CV control is what you're after have a look at Electric Druid's TAPLFO2 pic chip and circuit. Even more adaptable than that one and without the need for the OTA.
