Chaotic Attractor simulates mathematical strange attractors — Lorenz, Rössler, Halvorsen, Thomas, Dequan, and Dadras — using 1500 particles that follow the ODE trajectories. Audio modulates the attractor parameters (e.g. the Lorenz ρ value), making the particle cloud breathe, bloom, and morph in real time. Beat events cause a parameter spike that briefly pushes the system toward a more chaotic regime.
Key Features
Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Range / Options |
|---|---|---|
| Attractor Mode | lorenz / rossler / halvorsen / thomas / dequan / dadras | Select |
| Particle Count | Number of attractor particles | 200–2000 |
| Time Step | ODE integration step size — larger = more chaotic movement | 0.001–0.02 |
| Rotation Speed | Auto-rotation speed of the attractor projection | 0.0–1.0 |
Tips & Best Practices
- 1
Lorenz is the most iconic — the butterfly shape is instantly recognizable.
- 2
Lower Time Step (0.002) produces smoother, more intricate trails.
- 3
Halvorsen produces a complex 3-fold symmetric shape perfect for experimental music.
Export Performance
CPU-intensive 2D engine. 1000 particles at 60fps is comfortable on most machines; 2000 may drop frames on older hardware.
