Data Generator Chaos Lorenz
Lorenz strange attractor. Generates three chaotic outputs (x, y, z) from a system of three coupled differential equations discovered by Edward Lorenz in 1963. The trajectory traces a butterfly-shaped path that never exactly repeats, producing complex, evolving modulation signals. Outputs are normalized to approximately 0..+1.
A chaotic attractor is a mathematical system whose output is deterministic but unpredictable over time. Unlike random noise, the signals are smooth and continuous, making them ideal for organic, never-repeating modulation of parameters like filters, panning, or effects.
Settings
on
Activates or deactivates the module.
x
Chaotic X output, normalized to approximately 0..+1.
y
Chaotic Y output, normalized to approximately 0..+1.
z
Chaotic Z output, normalized to approximately 0..+1.
sigma
Rate of rotation around the attractor lobes. Classic value: 10.
rho
Drives the folding behavior. Higher values increase the attractor size. Classic value: 28. Below ~24.74 the system converges to a fixed point.
beta
Contraction rate along the Z axis. Classic value: 8/3 (2.667).
speed
Integration speed. Higher values make the attractor evolve faster. Default is 5.
reset
Resets the attractor state to initial conditions.
Common Settings
info
show manual
Button. Opens the manual page of the selected object (or of its parent module for a control) in the web browser. If no page exists for this object, an error is traced in the trace panel.
For more details about information/help creation, see create-help-file.
description
Free multi-line text attached to the module, saved with the patch. It is only meant as an internal note for the patch designer: it is not displayed in the interface.
ID's
visible only in god mode, see setup-panel-tab-expert.
unique ID
Read-only, not saved. Current private numeric ID of the object, used internally to identify it (for example as the target of a bind ID).
preset ID
Read-only, not saved. Private ID used to store and recall the values of this control in presets.
recreate ID
Button. Generates a new unique ID, original ID and preset ID for the object. Use it if you experience difficulties in Polyphonic mode or if two objects share the same ID. Preset values and binds referring to the old IDs are lost.
Object Remote Address
absolute
Read-only, not saved. Absolute address of the object in the Usine objects tree, built from the workspace root. This is the address to use to reach the object from scripts, the objects panel or remote messages. Only shown for objects that are registered in the objects list. See objects-address.
local
Read-only, not saved. Address of the object relative to the current patch, valid inside that patch only. See objects-address.
user addr
Free user-defined address for the object (empty by default). When set, the object is also registered in the objects tree under this name, so it can be reached independently of its position in the workspace (the value is also reported in the mouse-over and mouse-down chunks). Changing it rebuilds the objects list. Only available on objects that support a user address. See objects-address.
