class:: HenonC
summary:: Henon map chaotic generator
categories:: UGens>Generators>Chaotic
related:: Classes/HenonN, Classes/HenonL

description::
A cubic-interpolating sound generator based on the difference equation:

teletype::
	x(n+2) = 1 - a * x(n+1)^2 + b * x(n)
::

This equation was discovered by French astronomer Michel Hénon while studying the orbits of stars in globular clusters.

plot(size.collect { var aux = 1 - (a * (x1 ** 2)) + (b * x0); x0 = x1; x1 = aux; aux });

// default initial params
{ HenonC.ar(MouseX.kr(20, SampleRate.ir)) * 0.2 !2}.scope(s);

// mouse-control of params
{ HenonC.ar(SampleRate.ir/4, MouseX.kr(1,1.4), MouseY.kr(0,0.3)) * 0.2 !2}.scope(s);

// randomly modulate params
({ HenonC.ar(SampleRate.ir/8, LFNoise2.kr(1, 0.2, 1.2), LFNoise2.kr(1, 0.15, 0.15)) ! 2 * 0.02 }).scope(s);

// as a frequency control
{ SinOsc.ar(HenonC.ar(40, MouseX.kr(1,1.4), MouseY.kr(0,0.3))*800+900) * 0.04 ! 2 }.scope(s);
