Preliminary data for the Chaos Computer Series:
The new Livewire Chaos Computer is an expandable system using complex mathematical functions to produce multiple chaotic CV outputs.
CORE CHAOS ENGINE
The heart of the system is the Core Chaos Engine, which utilizes dual 32-bit Chaos Processing Units (or 'CPU's) and a x-modulo feedback parity tree to produce 2 sets of 4 related but distinctly unique random stepped voltage outputs.
The randomness of the outputs (ranging from cyclical conformity to total anarchy) is controlled by 16 probability switches, which determine the structure of the x-modulo parity tree. Each of the 8 outputs varies based on coefficients determining specific weighting and distribution.
RANDOM GATES
The Random Gate expansion module provides addtional 16 outputs (8 per CPU) each with unique random gate patterns. This module would be very useful in triggering rhytmically related random events.
Up to 8 Random Gate expanders can be added for up to 64 distinctly separate outputs.
ANALOGUE COMPUTATION
The Analogue Computation expansion module selects 2 variables, 1 each from the 4 random stepped voltages of both Core Chaos Engine CPUs. These variables are then processed through 8 mathemathical operators providing a further 8 related, but unique random CV outputs.
You can add on as many Analogue Computation expansion modules as you wish,
although it would not make sense to use more than 16 with the same Core
Chaos Engine.
FUTURE EXPANSION MODULES
More modules are planned for the future, including Coefficient Potentiometers, Octal Slew Functions, Digital Logic, and a second Analogue Computation expander with more esoteric calculations (Pi, Avogadro's number, Fibonnaci's number, etc.)
