TRIGGER SECTION

BIAS – use this control to bias the trigger outputs between t1 (output 10) to
(1)
CCW and t3 (output 12) to CW; t2 (output 11) stays constant.
BIAS CV – use this input to adjust the bias settings with an external control
(2)
voltage in the range -5 V to +5 V.

BIAS TYPE – the trigger bias can be set to one of three types, with the
(3)
button surround color indicating which is in use:
• Flip (orange) – a coin is flipped at each trigger pulse, with control 1 and
CV input 2 determining whether it is more likely to fall on Heads (t1)
or Tails (t3)
• Ratio (red) – the settings of control 1 and CV input 2 determine the ratio
of triggers generated for t1 at CCW or t3 at CW. The higher the bias, the
greater the ratio.
• Alternating (green) – triggers will alternate between t1 and t3, with a
greater number of repeats depending on the position of control 1 and
CV input 2.
RATE – use this control to set the internal clock rate of the CHAOS, from
(4)
63 Hz to 255 Hz (3.78 bpm to 3780 bpm approximately) When using an
external clock this control allows adjustment of division and multiplication.
RATE CV – use this input to adjust the rate settings with an external control
(5)
voltage in the range -5 V to +5 V.
RATE RANGE – use this button to divide the internal clock rate by 4
(6)
(orange), multiply by 4 (green) or leave it as it is (red). The button surround
color indicates which is selected.
JITTER – use this control to introduce an element of randomness into the
(7)
clock rate (internal or external). Turning the control CCW will cause clock
steps to lag behind the beat, while CW will cause them to move ahead.
JITTER CV – use this input to control jitter from an external CV source, in
(8)
the range -5 V to +5 V.
CLOCK – use this input to replace the internal clock with an external one.
