/* Thomas' cyclically symmetric attractor In the dynamical systems theory, Thomas' cyclically symmetric attractor is a 3D strange attractor originally proposed by René Thomas.[1] It has a simple form which is cyclically symmetric in the x,y, and z variables and can be viewed as the trajectory of a frictionally dampened particle moving in a 3D lattice of forces.[2] The simple form has made it a popular example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas%27_cyclically_symmetric_attractor */ input.b = 0.3; // min=0.01, max=0.33, step=0.001 const cyclAttractor = synth.def( class { constructor(options) { this.x = 0; this.y = 0; this.z = 0; this.a0 = 2 * Math.PI * midi_to_hz(options.note) * ditty.dt; } process(note,env,tick,options) { this.x += this.a0 * (Math.sin(this.y) - input.b * this.x) + 1e-6*Math.random(); this.y += this.a0 * (Math.sin(this.z) - input.b * this.y); this.z += this.a0 * (Math.sin(this.x) - input.b * this.z); return [this.x, this.y]; } }, {env:one, amp:0.1}); cyclAttractor.play(c6);
