Ring of three coupled PLLs, audio-rate chaos

Nonlinearcircuits · 4 HP · 3U

Panel · 20.3 × 128.5 mm

Description

An audio-rate chaotic signal generator after Hasegawa et al.'s ring of coupled phase-locked loops, with three PLLs in a circle through their phase difference inputs, each controlled by a vactrol and CV. Stage 1's CV and RANGE feed stages 2 and 3 with nothing patched; even then the six outputs differ, each stage phase-modulating the next.

Key features

  • Three stages, each with CV and RANGE in, VCO and PM out
  • No knob
  • 4 HP; Nonlinearcircuits publishes no current draw, depth or assembled price (it sells the DIY PCB and panel), and ModularGrid lists none
