A right of passage - yes. Another object to render is the Lorenz Attractor - not quite as cool, but interesting in a different way.



I keep reading that the Lorenz can be modeled on an analogue computer, and I want to find an example of how, so I can port it to a synthesizer and listen to it


Here is my collection of Lorenz equation implemented in 140 characters of Javascript: https://www.dwitter.net/h/lorenz My favorite is the flying butterfly with flapping wings.


It's defined as 3 differential equations. So you use some multipliers and summers to calculate those 3 equations and feed those into 3 integrators. The integrator. Outputs are what you plot on a scope or listen to. Use pots for the variable gains in the equations.

Ahhhhhh analog.
