This algorithm generates chaotic CVs and/or gates according to the

Lorenz equations

The X & Y inputs set parameters of the equations – X affects 'r' (aka 'ρ'), and Y affects 'b' (aka 'β').
With the CVs at 0V, the parameters are the classic values as studied by Lorenz (28 and 8/3
respectively).
The A & B outputs generate the x, y or z values of the Lorenz system, or gates based on these
values, according to parameter 1 as follows:

Parameter 1 Output A

When a gate output is chosen, the output is 5V when the x/y/z value is above zero, and 0V when the
value is below zero. This comparison happen after the scale/offset from parameters 2-5, so the
precise gates obtainable are affected by these parameters.
