Signum HyperChaos - build part 2 - Nonlinear Circuits

This is part 2 of my build of this Hyperchaos module from NLC.

Signum is Latin for "sign".
The sign function or signum function is an odd mathematical function that extracts the sign of a real number. 

Part 1 of the build is here:


The module has 6 outputs:
5 different CV outputs and 1 gate output.
(X, Y, Z, Signum W, Inv Z & GATE)

There are 5 inputs
(CV In, In1, In2, SW1, Sw2)

 
 
 
 
IN1 and IN2 are the inputs for the Signum switch, they are also connected via their switching pins to the internal workings of the hyperchaos circuit. 
 
SW2 is also the internal switch for the hyperchaos circuit so if you use this input you will find that switching only occurs with an external signal. 
 
Use SW1 if you want to control the switching of the hyperchaos with an external signal.

 
 
 
 
 
 
The CV IN is associated with the CLIMAX pot which determines how high the peaks go. The module can be greatly influenced by the CV in signal and can exhibit some fairly nutty responses at times.

SW1 & SW2:
the switching signal is +1 or -1. This means you need a signal crossing 0 to make switching occur. A regular gate may or may not work

LEDs I'm using blue ... my fav colour ... just make sure they are all the same colour.
 

It's done
