I have not done much work lately with the Vult modules. But I’m slowly catching up with the things I have pending.
One of the things I’m working on is to finish the port of the hardware version of Caudal.
The hardware version is slightly different from the classic Caudal we all know. It removes the angle outputs but adds Sample & Hold. This port is helping me test the upcoming chaotic models I have implemented
Here’s the list of the current modes available in the latest firmware:
- Pendulum: A four-segment pendulum swinging without friction.
- Planets: Four planets experiencing the effects of gravity in a micro-universe.
- Fish tank: Four fish continuously navigating within their tank.
- Fluctuating voltage: Four chaotic voltage generators reminiscent of Buchla style.
After testing more than 10 different chaotic models, I have decided to keep the following because those were the most interesting. Here are the new modes I’m working on:
- Coupled Oscillators: Inspired by the Kuramoto model, it features 8 oscillators which either lock or interfere each other.
- Feedback Dynamics: Inspired by the Mackey-Glass system, this system consists of couple of delay differential equations which use nonlinear feedback to produce chaotic signals.
- Analog Shift Register: Inspired by the Turing Machine module, this model uses 8 analog shift registers to create chaotic signals that can be locked.
- Kicked Rotors: Inspired by the Chirikov Standard Map, describes the dynamics of a periodically kicked nonlinear rotors.
I will make this module available as part of the Vult Compact package once I finish the testing.
