Triple Sloth
NonLinearCircuits (NLC) Triple Sloth is an 8HP Eurorack module containing three independent Sloth chaos circuits running at very different rates — Torpor, Apathy, and Inertia — generating slow chaotic CV signals from strange attractor circuits. It provides nine chaos outputs (X, Y, Z per circuit) plus a Difference Rectifier with positive and negative outputs.1003
Capabilities 3
- LFOlfo
- Chaos circuits produce very slow cyclic-like outputs (15 seconds to 40 minutes per cycle) suitable as ultra-slow LFO sources.1003
- Random CV Generatorrandom-cv-generator
- Three independent chaos circuits (Torpor, Apathy, Inertia) generate chaotic CV signals by traversing strange attractors at very slow rates, producing unpredictable but smooth modulation voltages.1003
- Random Sourcerandom-source

Jacks 13 (2 in / 11 out)
| Name | Signal | Voltage | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inputs (2) | |||
| Apathy CV | cv | — | CV input for the Apathy chaos circuit; may be injected onto the chaotic signal, potentially causing windows of periodicity or voltage jumps.1003 |
| Torpor CV | cv | — | CV input for the Torpor chaos circuit; may be injected onto the chaotic signal, potentially causing windows of periodicity or voltage jumps.1003 |
| Outputs (11) | |||
| Apathy X | cv | -5V to 5V | 1003 |
| Apathy Y | cv | -5V to 5V | 1003 |
| Apathy Z | cv | -5V to 5V | Z output for Apathy; inverted version of the Y output.1003 |
| Difference Rectifier + | cv | — | Positive output of the Difference Rectifier; outputs VApathy + VInertia - VTorpor when that value is greater than 0, otherwise 0.1003 |
| Difference Rectifier - | cv | — | Negative output of the Difference Rectifier; outputs VApathy + VInertia - VTorpor when that value is less than 0, otherwise 0.1003 |
| Inertia X | cv | -5V to 5V | 1003 |
| Inertia Y | cv | -5V to 5V | 1003 |
| Inertia Z | cv | -5V to 5V | Z output for Inertia; inverted version of the Y output.1003 |
| Torpor X | cv | -5V to 5V | 1003 |
| Torpor Y | cv | -5V to 5V | 1003 |
| Torpor Z | cv | -5V to 5V | Z output for Torpor; inverted version of the Y output.1003 |
Parameters 2
| Name | Type | Range | Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apathy Pot | knob | — | Does not alter frequency; instead weights the output so the signal spends more time travelling around one strange attractor rather than the other.1003 |
| Torpor Pot | knob | — | Does not alter frequency; instead weights the output so the signal spends more time travelling around one strange attractor rather than the other.1003 |
