Strange Attractor Synth

Download it here: https://gum.co/oukoU
This project uses the xyz coordinates of a Strange Attractor chaotic system to modulate parameters from an FM synthesizer with resonant lowpass filter and flanger effects. Various different Strange Attractors are programmed in the gen~ patcher with codebox (such as the famous Lorenz Attractor). The attractor can be selected in the umenu and is displayed in the openGL domain using jit.catch~ and jit.gl.path, and also through 4 phase-correlation scopes showing the x-y, y-z, x-z and distance to origin of the signal. Listening to the pure modulation signal is also possible. The coordinates of the attractor are output from the gen~ as a 3-channel signal.

Absolutely fantastic! Great visuals, sweet controls and descriptive patch + super M4L addition by Mr Chamberlain.
Thank you for sharing and glad to finally stumble on this
