- Page 2 Description Chance is a unique modulation source that uses chance operations to create musical voltages. Inspired by John Cage’s use of the Chinese divination text, I Ching, Chance generates random voltages in response to a digitally generated coin toss. Four distinct algorithms provide signals like smooth and discrete, while the wavetable and blend outputs take full advantage of its microcontroller core, utilizing lookup tables, and digital interpolation to create a one-of-a-kind voltage source.

- Page 6 It is important to note that if Chance is externally clocked, the rate at which the voltage moves to its next destination is set by the Rate knob and the Rate CV input.

- Page 8 5. Wavetable Output: The Wavetable Output emits a continuously changing tempo-synced LFO. If a clock pulse is received or if the Coin Toss Button is pressed, a new random wavetable and division or multiplication of the clock rate is selected. If a division is selected, the algorithm waits for the number of clock pulses equaling the factor of the division before selecting new values.

- Page 10 8. Blend Attenuverter: Attenuation and inversion control of the Blend Output. If the knob is far left, voltage will have an output range of 0V to -8V. If the knob is far right, voltage will have an output range of 0V to +8V. 9.
- Page 11 10. Blend Knob Controls the amount of blend between the four algorithms emitted from the Blend Output. If the knob is far left, the first LED will be illuminated and the Smooth algorithm will be selected. If the knob is far right, the fourth LED will be illuminated and the Blend algorithm will be selected.
- Page 12 14: Rate CV: Control voltage input for the rate of the internal clock. Range: ±5V 15. Clock Input: External Clock Input. 16: Clock Output: Output that emits a 50% duty cycle clock signal. Range: 0V – 5V 17: Burst Output: At every clock pulse or if the Coin Toss Button is pressed, a gate burst is generated with a random number of gate signals, a random number of rests between gate signals, and random duty cycles for each successive gate signal.
- Page 13 20: Freeze Button: Button that, when pressed, will freeze the voltage values present at the Smooth, Discrete, Wavetable, Blend, Burst, Digital Noise and Rhythm Outputs. If the button is illuminated, Freeze is enabled. If the button is unilluminated, Freeze is disabled. When frozen, the voltage present at the Smooth Output will continue to move to its destination until it arrives, at which point it will wait for the Coin Toss Button to be pressed or to be unfrozen before seeding a new destination.
- Page 14 22. Rhythm Knob: Sets the probability of random rhythmic division/multiplication values. If the knob is far left, the probability for change is as low as possible and set to divide the clock rate by 4. If the knob is far right, the probability of change is as high as possible and set to both divide and multiply.
