Zlob Modular Diode Chaos modulation source (LMEE)

This simple, small, inexpensive module is a source of three smoothly varying semi-random control voltages plus a random trigger. This video gives an overview of its behavior. The short version is: • Higher Rate settings produce more Triggers over the same period of time, with a sudden increase to audio rate triggers at the clockwise extreme of the Rate control. • The X output is the most active, providing a set of peaks like a “pinged” resonant filter at higher “Rate” settings. A train of these peaks starts with each Trigger output. • The Y output is like a heavily slewed version of the X output, and is somewhat out of phase. • The Z output acts like a bit like a slow attack/decay function generator, triggered by each Trigger output. • As a result of the above, “Rate” works more like a “complexity” control, than the normal speed of an LFO. This video, plus a second one showing how to use it as the main driver in a generative patch, are part of the Learning Modular Eurorack Expansion: Extended Edition course: https://courses.learningmodular.com/c... Those two videos, plus a third on how to tame the changing voltage ranges of the Diode Chaos and additional text explanations, were shared with the +5v and above Learning Modular subscribers on Patreon:   / learningmodular
