I've been a developer forever...I really enjoyed this! It occurs to me that someone could probably develop a hybrid system that would interface a digital computer with a control system that would take the place of the patch cords - etc.
@@LYehiaX A bit late but still. There is a Facebook group "Analog Computers". There is a lot of knowledge on AC there and lots of the members are very helpful.
@@Filmalot you could make a 4 quadrant multiplier with an inexpensive lm13700, i tried both the ad633 and the lm13700 and the lm13700 works very good too, not super precise like the ad633 but for an attractor is good enough (:
@@fititocom Not always suitable for serious analog computing but I do use them in my sound/synth setup. I bought a lot of them for one-tenth of the price of an AD633.
Hello, I really enjoyed this. Have you come across software that allows you to enter a mathematical function and it optimizes - designs an analog circuit? Sort of like a mathematical ---> analog compiler on a hardware level. Thank you.
Thanks for the comment. I have not seen such software before. But my assumptions are that it is development. Some people/groups are busy developing analog computers on a chip. They would be happy with such software. There is a Facebook group "Analog Computers". Maybe somebody there knows more on the subject.
The output of most contemporary analog computers is a voltage. Usually between -10V and +10V. It's easy possible to scale this to (say) 0V and +5V. Then the output can be used to control analog synths that use control voltages in that range (like a lot of Doepfer modules.) It's also possible to generate audio-range wave forms. On my DIY system the frequencies generated are on the low spectrum, as in less than 1000 Hz. (But in practice more in the 10 Hz range.)

Fascinating talk ❤
Useful presentation. Please can you do breadboard LORENZ Circuit
At the moment I'm not able do build the Lorenz circuit on a breadboard. I don't have (the expensive) AD633 multipliers in stock.
@@Filmalot I'm trying to build a chaotic circuit, if i got questions or any problem how can contact you ?

Can we use this for music recording?
