class:: LatoocarfianN
summary:: Latoocarfian chaotic generator
categories:: UGens>Generators>Chaotic
related:: Classes/LatoocarfianL, Classes/LatoocarfianC
description::
A non-interpolating sound generator based on a function given in Clifford Pickover's book Chaos In Wonderland, pg 26. The function is:
teletype::
x(n+1) = sin(b * y(n)) + c * sin(b * x(n))
y(n+1) = sin(a * x(n)) + d * sin(a * y(n))
::
According to Pickover, parameters code::a:: and code::b:: should be in the range from -3 to +3, and parameters code::c:: and code::d:: should be in the range from 0.5 to 1.5. The function can, depending on the parameters given, give continuous chaotic output, converge to a single value (silence) or oscillate in a cycle (tone).
sclang code translation:
code::
(
var a = 1, b = 3, c = 0.5, d = 0.5, xi = 0.5, yi = 0.5, size = 64;
plot(size.collect { var x = xi;
xi = sin(b * yi) + (c * sin(b * xi));
yi = sin(a * x) + (d * sin(a * yi));
xi
});
)
