Hi all,

Just curious--on an analog circuit one can send a signal output back
into it's own input. It seems that Csound is perhaps locked into a
variable declaration style that would make simulating this
impossible--i.e. one can't declare an output as an input unless the
output has been previously declared. I was thinking that global
variables and some trickery with 'init' might somehow make this
possible, but maybe someone knows a better way to proceed. I recall as
far as I remember that the DX7 emulation floating around uses phase
modulation tricks and I think also uses global variables to simulate
the DX7 algorithms that had feedback loops, but alas my 'Csound Book'
is buried in a book box somewhere among about 20 boxes since
rearranging our garage, so I can't confirm....or I should say, I don't
want to go digging THAT mch!

Anyway, has anyone tried to play around with chaotic signal paths by
implementing 'feedback loops'?

Best,
