"This is one of two custom built Metalbox Ian Fritz ChaQuO quadrature oscillator/chaos generators in Wiard 300 format.

The main function of this module is a versatile chaotic signal generator (cg). chaotic signals are signals that have varying degrees of interesting irregularity without actually becoming random. The Chaos Generator is an analog electronic simulation of the classical driven double potential-well problem, with the addition of extra gain in the circuit loop, and an extra cross-coupling path to extend the range of chaotic patterns available.

The double-well system is a "second-order" system and therefore requires an external driving signal. This is provided by the second part of the module, a sinusoidal quadrature oscillator (qo). The two parts of the module may be used together or separately. The Chaos Generator may be driven by any output of the built-in Quadrature Oscillator or by any external oscillator. The oscillator may drive the Chaos Generator or be used independently as a four phase oscillator for the usual spatial modulation and other applications. Both parts of the module are manually controlled. The Quadrature Oscillator has a frequency span of ~0.03 hz to ~3 khz in two overlapping ranges.

The module has a maximum current draw of 45ma..."
