ChaoticSynthesisExample1

Description
Chaotic Synthesis Example 1 Illustrates the use of the "Chaotic Control Generator 1" to create a frequency input signal for the Controllable Combo Oscillator. The result is a sequence of tones which follows the behaviour of the classic non-linear logistic equation at the core of the "Chaotic Control Generator 1" block. The "Control Smoother" is used to soften the tone transitions, and the "Large Control Gain" maps the control signal onto a desired frequency range for the oscillator. Experiment with all settings of all blocks to explore the chaotic behaviour of the logistic equation and its interesting musical connotations!
