You pick up on one chaos-based synth and another comes along — this is a free one from OA-Labs called OA-Phosphor-1.
Promising “controllable instability” it’s a Mac (and soon, Windows) VST/AU synth offering unpredictability and playability.
Features
- two oscillators and dedicated sub, with plus cross, ring and hard-sync blend, as sources
- Dual LFOs: random, tempo-synced
- Amp, filter and pitch envelopes
- Multimode filter (LP/HP/BP/notch)

- Up to 4x oversampling
- Drift, jitter, wander and sag instability
- Chaos rate and amount
