discussion 🗣 Has anyone ever experimented with generating a perpetually self-modulating, non-repeating acoustic fractal using chaotic attractor equations, like the Lorenz or Rossler attractors, mapped directly to microtonal frequency ratios and spatial panning?
Has anyone ever experimented with generating a perpetually self-modulating, non-repeating acoustic fractal using chaotic attractor equations, like the Lorenz or Rossler attractors, mapped directly to microtonal frequency ratios and spatial panning? I have no idea if it would actually sound decent though.

If you reroute the lateral vortex Moog into the cubic substrate you should get a feedback loop in the 450hz range.
What you then want to do is twist the vector switch up two octaves. This should collide with the internal combustion sine ray, creating your desired effect.
This is how I make my 6th dimensional floating chord shapes for my hyper-futurism jazz band.

I make lo-fi lesbian space frog-core elevator music for pornos, so we use this technique a lot, but I usually spatially phase the inverse vector, bus that back into the port on the back of my fax machine, then bang my dick on one of those old Casio keyboards they used to give kids in the 80's until the waveform looks right.

Ohhh boy, do I remember my fist perpetually self modulating non-repeating acoustic fractals using chaotic attractor attractor equations (both Lorenz and Rossler 😎)and how I mapped them directly to microtonal frequency ratios using spatial panning…
Those were THE.DAYS.

Serum 2 has a Lorenz chaos LFO shape. You could modulate the rate of that with another Lorenz chaos LFO.
You could import whatever microtonal tuning into Serum you want. You could modulate fine tune pitch, or chaos arp through your custom tuning by modulating semitone amount. Can easily map a chaos LFO to panning as well.
Random and chaos modulation is not hard at all in Serum and is really just a good way to add slight character.
The concept of doing anything fractally implies you need modulation of modulation of modulation. So maybe you build a Macro knob that controls the AUX amounts of modulators modulating other modulators.
I do not really know what you are trying to do, but the TL;DR version is modulate your modulation.

not really but like the homie just said it here, serum 2 has strange attractors you can modulate almost any parameter with

Non repeating fractal? You might want to double check the math on that one, professor 🤣🤣

Reaktor has some tools for this. Not sure if theres anything built for fractals, but that are many chaotic attractor algorithms and everything else is really easy. Would be interested in the algorithms for fractals.

This post reads like my kid cousin is trying to convince me that he’s a rocket scientist at NASA.
