[sdiy] Ian's Chaos Modules

Tue Mar 17 15:22:00 CET 2009

It is similar to a sequential switch except that the inputs are blended into each other for a time instead of just an abrupt switch of inputs.  

For this patch I was playing with chaos as well as phase.  I had 2 signals from the Mankato going straight to the Mixer processor.  I had 3 more signals from the Mankato going to the 3 inputs of the scanner and then into another input of the Mixer/processor.  It allowed for more variation of sound.  I was sweeping the scanner manually.  What I didn't do and need to try is using the Jerkster cv into the scanner cv to sweep the inputs.  I dind't do this because it can be a challange to get the cv range scaled for optimal use in the scanner.
