A simple subtractive synth (squarewave through a lowpass filter) controlled by the Nonlinear Circuits "Squid Axon" module.

I planned to record a different video today, but I lost my voice, so I changed my plans. Alongside the NLC Neuron module (which I am also fond of    • Audio Approaches to Artificial Neuron...   ), I'm also fascinated by the Squid Axon, which is based on the Hodgkin–Huxley mathematical model (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodgkin...) of how giant squid axons work.

All that math is too complicated for me, but it's another chaotic, naturemodeled way to create control data, so I'm all for it.

Here, the output of the axon most clearly controls pitch, but also influences, the clock speed, envelope length, and filter. I start with the Squid Axon just working as a simple sampleandhold, before cranking up the feedback for some generative melodies.
