Description
Chaotic Benjolin-inspired program combining rungler-style modulation, quantized CV, and pulse generation. Forward/back clocks can be driven from Pulse In 1 and Pulse In 2. The card blends internal randomness with external modulation for probability, offset, and amplitude.
The Z switch sets how shift-register cells are written on each clock: - Up (Double Length): toggles the write cell each clock, producing a stable loop of double length. - Middle (Unlock): writes from the data input (or internal noise) when data exceeds the Chaos threshold. - Down (Write): forces the write cell to a fixed value. The Chaos, Offset, and Chaos VCA knobs behave the same in all switch positions.
