Well the Sherman Chaos Bank is an interesting module, it has 3 digital
oscillators that can be cross modulated in various way's (FM & Steep). Each
channel has it's on FM input to be controlled from external signals such CV
and audio.
It also has an trigger input and a manual trigger button to reset the cycle
of the oscillators.

It can generate all from noise to random melody's. The sound of the
oscillators is quite digital sounding, but when connected to an filterbank
you have a real nice sounding chaos machine!
The CV output of the Chaos Bank can further modulate any other CV source,
like the filter CV on the filterbank.

There was a plan to release the chaos bank but there was to mutch of a
problem to get it to work with in the RF laws since it can generate wery
high frequencies that might interfere with other electronics.

The Sherman Chaos Bank is an truly unique module and there was only 10 of
them ever made, and I'm lucky to own two. And I don't think I want to part
from one of them since the two of the makes an massive 6 oscillator Chaos
Bank

How ever, you never now what the future might bring! Herman is an close
friend to me and I have pushed him to make it commercially available.
So we se.

I will soon put up some sound bytes and some more pic's of the Chaos Bank
on my web site!
