Gibbon

digitally controlled complex random source

Inspired by the random source on the Buchla Music Easel, the Gibbon is a digitally controlled complex random source generating a pair of both gate and CV signals. The random generator functions similar to an analog shift register. When the clock signal triggers an update and the next register value is loaded, there is a chance it will change. Think of it like a sequencer. The random generator cycles through the steps of the sequence and each time the sequencer jumps to the next step, there is a chance the value stored in that step will be replaced with a new value. The result is a random source that feels both random and evolutionary, with an ever evolving pattern cycle. Add to that adjustable pattern length, adjustable stored voltage difference range, the chance for triggers on clock subdivisions, and the output becomes even more chaotic.
