Chance

Description

Chance is a unique modulation source that uses chance operations to create musical voltages. Inspired by John Cage’s use of the Chinese divination text, I Ching, Chance generates random voltages in response to a digitally generated coin toss.

Four distinct algorithms provide signals like smooth and discrete, while the wavetable and blend outputs take full advantage of its microcontroller core, utilizing lookup tables, and digital interpolation to create a one-of-a-kind voltage source. Upon each successive clock pulse, coin toss seeds all outputs with new randomly chosen values.

Freeze stops everything in its tracks and holds each output at its current state. After countless hours, Chance will continue to surprise with new, unbelievable improvisations.
