CHAOS 01
Brian Greenforest
https://greenforest.io/chaos-01.html

An evolving chaotic drone made entirely with VCV stock modules.
Core: eight CV Mix modules and two VCA modules, ten modules in 30 HP.
Complete patch: 15 stock modules, 27 cables.

OPEN AND PLAY
1. Open brian-greenforest-chaos-01.vcv in VCV Rack 2.
2. Set Rack's engine sample rate to 48 kHz.
3. In Audio-2, select your own driver and output device. The saved device
   is MacBook Pro Speakers.
4. Start at a low listening level and let the patch evolve.

Reopen the original file to restart the state. Do not initialize the
modules: doing so resets the calibrated gains.

The mathematical core targets the Nose-Hoover / Sprott A equations:
dx/dt = y
dy/dt = -x - y*z
dz/dt = y*y - 1

Reading from the left edge, x is the output of module 4, y of module 3,
and z of module 7. Noise is used in the sound path only; the chaos core
is deterministic.

The original patch file is preserved without modification. The saved
module versions are VCV Free 2.6.4 and Core 2.6.6.
