Combining human input from a joystick with a two-neuron artificial neural network for chaotic interactive music.
This Eurorack joystick is going into a simple neural network to control multiple dimensions of the timbre of this synth voice. Joystick dimensions X, Y, and Z go into different inputs of the Nonlinear Circuits Dual Neuron, and are mixed together and transformed by a nonlinearity (more here: youtu.be/SblYnu8OzEI?si=QtVaXVgseBdDpK-e). In addition to the output controlling the waveform and filter cutoff of the synth, the outputs of each neuron is fed back into the other, creating a chaotic artificial organism with which to improvise.
