Description

A non-interpolating sound generator based on the difference equations:

        x(n+1) = 1 - y(n) + |x(n)|
        y(n+1) = x(n)

The behavior of the system is only dependent on its initial conditions.

sclang code translation:( var xi = 1.2, yi = 2.1, size = 64; plot(size.collect { var x; xi = 1 - yi + abs(x = xi); yi = x; xi }); )

(

var xi = 1.2, yi = 2.1, size = 64;

plot(size.collect { var x; xi = 1 - yi + abs(x = xi); yi = x; xi });

)

Examples

// default initial params

{ GbmanN.ar(MouseX.kr(20, SampleRate.ir)) * 0.1 }.play(s);

​

// change initial params

{ GbmanN.ar(MouseX.kr(20, SampleRate.ir), -0.7, -2.7) * 0.1 }.play(s);

​

// wait for it...

{ GbmanN.ar(MouseX.kr(20, SampleRate.ir), 1.2, 2.0002) * 0.1 }.play(s);

​

// as a frequency control

{ SinOsc.ar(GbmanN.ar(40)*400+500)*0.4 }.play(s);
