summary:: Gingerbreadman map chaotic generator
categories:: UGens>Generators>Chaotic
related:: Classes/GbmanN
description::
A linear-interpolating sound generator based on the difference equations:
teletype::
x(n+1) = 1 - y(n) + |x(n)|
y(n+1) = x(n)
::
The behavior of the system is dependent only on its initial conditions and cannot be changed once it's started.
sclang code translation:
code::
(
var xi = 1.2, yi = 2.1, size = 64;
plot(size.collect { var x; xi = 1 - yi + abs(x = xi); yi = x; xi });
)

examples::
code::
// default initial params
{ GbmanL.ar(MouseX.kr(20, SampleRate.ir)) * 0.1 }.play(s);
// different initial params
{ GbmanL.ar(MouseX.kr(20, SampleRate.ir), -0.7, -2.7) * 0.1 }.play(s);
// wait for it...
{ GbmanL.ar(MouseX.kr(20, SampleRate.ir), 1.2, 2.0002) * 0.1 }.play(s);
// as a frequency control
{ SinOsc.ar(GbmanL.ar(40)*400+500)*0.4 }.play(s);
