Rung Divisions has three outputs derived
from the shift register: a buffered 1-bit gate
output from the first bit of the register and
two DAC encoded outputs, 3-bit and 8-bit.
The 1-bit output maintains the pulse width of
the clock signal.
Figs. 3 and 4 show the encoding for the 3-bit
and 8-bit outputs - they are reverse encoded
and provide contrapuntal motion, which is
useful when driving complimentary voices.
Changing the direction parameter will make
the 3-bit output voltage fall as data passes
through the register, and the 8-bit output
rise in voltage. Both outputs can serve as a
random / looping sequencer and work well
with further quantisation.
Due to the extensive CV over the shift regis-
ter parameters, at audio rate the encoded
outputs make for a flexible and comprehen-
sive noise oscillator with as good frequency
tracking as the clocking oscillator.
To generate chaos with Rung Divisions, the
user must patch the 3-bit or 8-bit output
back to a CV input of the clock source.
Feedback to the data source has less of an
impact, but can add an extra layer of control.
In a feedback setup, each of the outputs has
a distinct character; the 3-bit output is more
“burst like” as if there is no data in the last
three bits the clock will be held at a slower
rate before bursting to higher rates when the
data reaches bit 6, 7, and 8. The 8-bit output
has a more random character, but will still
latch on strange attractors.
The chance knob is especially useful in feed-
back patches, and can be dialled in to
generate slowly changing chaotic patterns.
