Signal (audio or CV) in.
Mangled signal out.
Order of Offsetting, Scaling, and Folding. Default order is Offset->Scale->Fold. Order is indicated by the lights next to the CV jacks for OFT, SCL, and FLD (green->yellow->red). Button cycles the order. Jack accepts a trigger pulse to cycle the order.
Offset summed with output of previous stage. Knob ranges from -10.0 to 10.0. CV is summed with knob value.
Scaling factor multiplied with output of previous stage. Knob ranges from -10.0 to 10.0. CV is summed with knob value.
Full-wave rectification applied to output of previous stage. Button toggles off and on. Jack accepts a trigger pulse to toggle off and on.
Distributions is a probability distribution-governed randomness source, with dual OSF built in and a display of the distribution post-OSF.
Triggers a sample from the current distribution. Jack accepts a trigger pulse.
Reseeds the internal random number generator, allowing you to produce repeatable sequences. If you've found a sequence you like, you are free to offset, scale, and fold it, but changing the distribution, and its parameters, P1 and P2, may disturb the sequence. Jack accepts a trigger pulse.
Cycles the currently selected distribution. P1 and P2 knob values are saved when cycling through distributions. Jack accepts a trigger to cycle through distributions.
First parameter of curent distribution. Knob ranges from -10.0 to 10.0. CV is summed with knob value and clamped to -10.0 to 10.0.
Second parameter of curent distribution. Knob ranges from -10.0 to 10.0. CV is summed with knob value and clamped to -10.0 to 10.0.
Distributions currently has three built in distributions: Gaussian (normal/bell-curve), Gamma, and Beta.
Mean. Ranges from -10.0 to 10.0.
Variance. Knob+CV -10.0 to 10.0 maps to 0.0 to 20.0.
Kappa. Knob+CV -10.0 to 10.0 maps to 0.001 to 20.001.
Theta. Knob+CV -10.0 to 10.0 maps to 0.001 to 20.001.
Alpha. Knob+CV -10.0 to 10.0 maps to 0.001 to 20.001.
Beta. Knob+CV -10.0 to 10.0 maps to 0.001 to 20.001.
Two OSFs are applied to the sampled value. With the default parameters, these have no effect. In addition to the usual FLD settings, FLD includes a mirroring mode which rectifies, then inverts with probability .5. See OSF for reference.
Strings is an 8-step fractalline gate/dual-CV sequencer, based on the Cantor set.
Controls if given step is active at the 'zero-iteration' level.
CV value for corresponding step. Knob ranges from -5.0 to 5.0.
External trigger input to step through sequence. Overrides internal clock when connected. Jack accepts trigger pulses.
Sets internal clock to run or not. Internal clock runs if button turned on, or CV input is greater than 1V.
'Zero-iteration' clock speed. Effective clock speed is multiplied by LENITR. Knob ranges from 15 steps/min to 3840 steps/min, scaled exponentially. CV jack overrides knob, is scaled exponentially, and is not clamped, allowing slower or faster clock speeds. At the audio rate, CV outputs turn into oscillators.
Number of steps to include in fractal generation. Ranges from 1 to 8, but 1 isn't very interesting.
'Depth' of the fractal. Each iteration shrinks and copies the top-level 'zero-iteration' sequence into the space of each active step at the previous depth. Fully CCW (at the 'zero-iteration'), Strings is a normal 8-step sequencer. Up to five iterations are allowed.
Resets the internal step counter to zero. CV jack accepts a trigger.
Controls whether CV values are updated on inactive steps. This parameter controls behavior of both CV channels.
Governs how CV values are decided for iterated steps. Fully CCW, uses 'zero-iteration' value. Fully CW, uses current-iteration value. In the middle, mixes the values for all intermediate iterations.
Sends a 10V gate at each active step.
CV output.
Sends a 10V pulse at each 'zero-iteration' step (even inactive steps).
Sends a 10V pulse at the zero step.
