Visualisation Of Chaos Example2

What it does

Visualisation of Chaos Example 2

Illustrates the use of the Audio Phase-Space Scope for plotting the real-time trajectory of one audio signal versus another. In this example, a chaotic wave (produced by the Controllable Combo Oscillator driven by the Chaotic Control Generator 1) is passed through a Moorer Comb filter (a key element of IIR-based reverbs) and plotted against a delayed version of itself.The interesting thing to note is how the shape of the plot (in the Audio Phase-Space Scope) has a regular pattern but yet never repeats itself. This is a hallmark of chaotic systems.

Try increasing the gains of the Moorer Comb filter. Interesting musical sounds will emerge (due to the reverberant effect of the comb filter).

Experiment with different effects other than the Moorer Comb, and explore different oscillator settings and waveforms. You will discover that the visual and audio manifestations of chaos are intriguing (and even inspiring !)
