Joranalogue Orbit 3 is an analog chaotic oscillator for Eurorack systems:
Orbit 3 by Joranalogue opens up new horizons of modulation, using concepts from chaos theory and deterministic disorder. In mathematics, chaos refers to complex systems with extremely irregular yet entirely deterministic behavior.
At the core of Orbit 3 is a modified electronic analog of the classic "strange attractor" with a double loop. The output voltages model the trajectory of a particle in 3D space around two unstable equilibrium points. The positions of these points, orbit distributions, and movement speeds can be manually adjusted or voltage-controlled.
In addition to low-frequency modulation, Orbit 3 operates in the audio range, generating diverse waveforms from sinusoidal-like to white noise. With temperature compensation and calibrated V/Oct tracking, the module also serves as a non-trivial yet precise audio oscillator.
Three pairs of additional outputs with amplitude balancing and signal indicators cover an ultra-wide range from 2.4 MHz to 22 kHz. A reset input allows for synchronizing modulations or "hard sync" of audio tones. An additional logic output tracks transitions through equilibrium points.
Intuitively understandable attractor shape parameters, a "wildness/tameness" knob, and a rich set of features make Orbit 3 a powerful and flexible source of next-generation control signals.
