T Generator Overview; Clock Rate And Range; Randomness And Bias Controls; Deja Vu Section - mutable marbles User Manual

The t generator produces random gates by generating a jittery master clock (which is output on

applied to the external clock.

Whenever the module needs to make a random choice (for instance, to decide on the amount of jitter to
apply on the next tick of its clock, or to generate a random voltage for one of its outputs), it queries the
