BEHRINGER / CHAOS

Behringer CHAOS is an analog Eurorack module capable of random sampling. It is capable of generating complex melodies, complex beats, and soundscapes.

Behringer CHAOS is an analog Eurorack module with random sampling. Create complex melodies, intricate beats, and soundscapes. Control clock speed, trigger and CV probabilities, scale length, and create over-the-top melodies, ambient washes, and grooves with this infinitely tweakable module.

■Heads and Tails
CHAOS is divided into two sections: the t section and the X section. the t section generates random gates connected to a master clock. the X section generates three random voltages that are clocked into the t section. Each section is infinitely tweakable and can be patched to different sources to create truly unique sequences.

■Warped Speed
The t section has three main outputs: t1, t2, and t3. The master clock is output from t2, and this clock can be “warped” by turning the Jitter knob clockwise or counterclockwise. This allows the musician to simulate the fine imperfections of playing to a metronome and get a more natural feel for the beat.
