Apparently Gibbons are not very
good at keeping track of large
sequences of numbers.
Inspired by the random source on the Buchla
Music Easel, the Gibbon is a digitally controlled
complex random source generating a pair of
both gate and CV signals. The random
generator functions similar to an analog shift
register. When the clock signal triggers an
update and the next register value is loaded,
there is a chance it will change. Think of it
like a sequencer. The random generator cycles
through the steps of the sequence and each
time the sequencer jumps to the next step, there
is a chance the value stored in that step will be
replaced with a new value. The result is a
random source that feels both random and
evolutionary, with an ever evolving pattern
cycle. Add to that adjustable pattern length,
adjustable stored voltage difference range, the
chance for triggers on clock subdivisions, and
the output becomes even more chaotic.

- Page 2 Despite what you may think, the point of this manual is to explain how the Gibbon works, not to make it more confusing. Knobs and Jacks Clock IO Jack External clock input, internal clock output, or randomized internal clock output depending on the clock mode selected. Mod Input Jack External CV input used to mod the pattern variation.
- Page 3 Clock Button Modify clock related settings depending on selected clock mode. Pressing the Clock Button in external clock mode cycles through clock divisions 1-8. When in internal clock mode, the Clock Button functions as a tap tempo clock source. Select Clock Source Cycle through the 3 available clock modes.
- Page 4 Mode Button Selects between CV and Gate signal outputs for Out A Jack and Out B Jack. Select Output Mode Cycle through the 3 available output modes. Press the Mode button to cycle through output modes. Mode 1 LED 1 lit. Out A and Out B output CV signals. Mode 2 LED 2 lit.
