Snazzy FX CHAOS BROTHER - Manual (Page 13)

ALWAYS PLUG YOUR MASTER CLOCK SIGNAL INTO THE CV INPUT!!!!
THEN USING THE CV KNOB YOU CAN DECIDE HOW MUCH THE CHAOS
BROTHER IS LOCKED TO THAT CLOCK.!
!
KEEP IN MIND…EVEN WHEN THE CHAOS BROTHER IS BEING FORCED
TO “LOCK” TO YOUR TRACK, TO YOUR SONG, TO YOUR BEAT, IT WILL
STILL SPIT OUT NON-PERIODIC CHAOTIC GATES. ITS JUST THAT THOSE
NON-PERIODIC GATES (and THE CHAOTIC X/Y SIGNALS) WILL BE
FORCED TO TRY TO FOLLOW THE CLOCK (or whatever else you stick into
the CV INPUT)!
!
THIS SETUP WORKS BEAUTIFULLY AND ALLOWS FOR SOME VERY
UNIQUE EFFECTS, RHYTHMS, “hand-drum” playing, Organic sounding
stutters, and various results that are too weird to describe.!
!
For example, think about this. If you create a patch where the MASTER
CLOCK is going through a clock divider. This clock divider is driving all
your sequencers and drums. Then you take an out from this divider and
feed it INTO THE CV INPUT OF THE CHAOS BROTHER. Well then if you
take the CHAOS BROTHER’S GATE OUTPUT AND STICK IT INTO THE
CLOCK DIVIDERS RESET INPUT or THE CLOCK DIVIDERS ROTATE INPUT
and then adjust the threshold to taste, WHAMO!! you will get some very
interesting things happening.!
!
AND THAT RIGHT THERE, THAT FEEDBACK LOOP KIND OF PATCH, IS
WHERE THE CHAOS BROTHER REALLY SHINES. Because the CV depth,
threshold and speed controls cover a wide range, you can really dial in a
lot of different effects for wildly different results.!
!
And if you apply these kinds of effects to a hi-hat , or a drum with voltage
controlled decay, etc, you can use the smooth, X and Y outputs to vary
pitch, decay, etc, and then use the gate output to alter the structure or
pattern or tempo, or what have you.!
!
SO THE CHAOS BROTHER GATE OUT really is the most revolutionary
feature of the Chaos Brother from a SYSTEM standpoint. !

USE IT: "

to drive sequencers !
