Chaos

[gstopp at fibermux.com]

     I believe that the following are examples of chaotic systems in 
     synthesizers:
     
     1) Steadily clocked Sample & Hold samples a VCO waveform, and the S/H
        output wraps around and modulates the VCO's frequency
     
     2) Phase-locked loops that can lock onto harmonics
     
     I'm sure there are others but I think the common thing is that the 
     response of the system to stimulus has "stable points", separated by 
     "unstable points". Do I have this right? Is this chaotic? Or should I 
     go back and re-read my chaos books?

Anyone played with chaos circuits?  Either osillators or waveform 
modifying circuits?
