It has been shown that if you loosely couple three oscillators
they will produce chaotic periods. I've also seen that when
a zener diode is around 7.2V it is especially noisy. This
has been used to produce many types of random noise, including
white and pink noise for special purposes. Most silicon transistors
will zener in this region if back biased, base to emitter. I
ones made a wave sound simulator using both the zener and
the oscillator principles.

I have tuned up various modules on a Moog 55 IIIC+ modular synthesiser
and (finally)obtained the classic bifurcation plot. Somehow I can't get
the ARP 2600 to do this yet, but it's probably a simultaneous lack of
patience and precision calibration.
I have the 'flickering neon candle lamp' device hooked up now to trigger
the ARP, also I derive a MIDI signal from it and feed that into Reaktor, a
software modular synth of fairly extensive capability.
But we're getting out near the Bounds of Topic, I theenk.
