Funny you mention that Ian, I've just begun a project with an FPGA that implements the
Lorenz attractor as a 3 output modulator.  I will also build a synth into the design
that accepts the X, Y and Z outputs as modulation inputs.  I'm thinking maybe sine FM
with the modulation index coming from the Lorenz system.  I will first try 70 bit 9.61
fixed point arithmethic and see what happens.
