<h2>Description</h2>
<p>
Implements the Lorenz system of equations. The Lorenz system is a chaotic-dynamic system which was originally used to simulate the motion of a particle in convection currents and simplified weather systems. Small differences in initial conditions rapidly lead to diverging values. This is sometimes expressed as the butterfly effect. If a butterfly flaps its wings in Australia, it will have an effect on the weather in Alaska. This system is one of the milestones in the development of chaos theory. It is useful as a chaotic audio source or as a low frequency modulation source.

<h2>Syntax</h2>
<pre class="synopsis">ax, ay, az <span class="command"><strong>lorenz</strong></span> ksv, krv, kbv, kh, ix, iy, iz, iskip [, iskipinit]</pre>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Initialization">
<a id="idp29136432"></a>
<h2>Initialization</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>ix</em></span>, <span class="emphasis"><em>iy</em></span>, <span class="emphasis"><em>iz</em></span> -- the initial coordinates of the particle.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>iskip</em></span> -- used to skip generated values. If <span class="emphasis"><em>iskip</em></span> is set to 5, only every fifth value generated is output. This is useful in generating higher pitched tones.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>iskipinit</em></span> (optional, default=0) -- if non zero
skip the initialisation of the filter. (New in Csound version
4.23f13 and 5.0)
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Performance">
<a id="idp29174784"></a>
<h2>Performance</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>ksv</em></span> -- the Prandtl number or sigma
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>krv</em></span> -- the Rayleigh number
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>kbv</em></span> -- the ratio of the length and width of the box in which the convection currents are generated
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>kh</em></span> -- the step size used in approximating the differential equation. This can be used to control the pitch of the systems. Values of .1-.001 are typical.
</p>
<p>
The equations are approximated as follows:
</p>
<div class="literallayout">
<p><br />
x = x + h*(s*(y - x))<br />
y = y + h*(-x*z + r*x - y)<br />
z = z + h*(x*y - b*z)<br />
</p>
</div>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The historical values of these parameters are:
</p>
<div class="literallayout">
<p><br />
ks = 10<br />
kr = 28<br />
kb = 8/3<br />
</p>

<p>This algorithm uses internal non linear feedback loops which causes audio result to depend on the orchestra
sampling rate. For example, if you develop a project with <span class="emphasis"><em>sr</em></span>=48000Hz and if you want to produce
an audio CD from it, you should record a file with <span class="emphasis"><em>sr</em></span>=48000Hz and then downsample the file to 44100Hz
