What is it?

This recursive sound instrument is based on Jaap Vink's technique as explained by Kees Tazelaar in this video: https://youtu.be/X_Bcr_HS9XM

It it contains a delay, ring modulator, compressor and an oscillator

I also took inspiration from the SuperCollider codes in this this topic on the SuperCollider forum: https://scsynth.org/t/jaap-vink-analogue-unstable-ring-modulated-feedback/8613/2

How to play

Load this script into the Norns and play it by moving the three encoders

e1= Filter frequency

e2= Ring modulator frequency

e3= Delay time

Development plans

I would like to use a different compressor, one that can be used with audio rate instead of control rate to improve the sound of the feedback loop.

An extra feature that could be worth to add is to use a control signal from an envelope follower to control the pitch of the oscillator. Just like at the end of the video of La Synthèse Humaine:
