Motivation
This build was intended to be used with self generating patches to add some unpredictable variation. It is based on two integrators with feedback. Classic double-well chaos. Depending on the used parts value the output voltages moves faster or slower. From seconds to hours. You have X and Y output, X+Y, X-Y, Y positive only and Y negative only. This gives a lot of patch possibilities, all related in some way and parallel available.
