Description

Edit description

This module contains 3 Sloth chaos circuits. Each one runs at a different rate; Torpor takes approx. 15-30 seconds to travel around 2 strange attractors, Apathy takes 60-90 seconds and Inertia takes 30-40 minutes.

There are no controls for Inertia, it does what it wants.

The pots for Apathy and Torpor do not specifically alter the frequencies, rather the weight of the outputs. Various settings will cause the signals to spend more time traveling around one strange attractor rather than the other.

Apathy and Torpor also have CV inputs. Sometimes the CV signals are injected onto the chaotic signals but depending upon conditions may cause windows of periodicity or voltage jumps. Generally the results are good.

The X, Y & Z outputs for each Sloth are taken from different stages of the circuit and are all different to each other, although Z is simply the inverted version of Y. The three Z outputs are also fed into a Difference Rectifier and the results of this are available from the + and – outputs at the bottom of the panel. The Difference Rectifier outputs are (ignoring diode voltage drops):

out + = VApathy +VInertia - VTorpor If greater than 0, otherwise 0

out - = VApathy +VInertia - VTorpor If less than 0, otherwise 0

Use cases and applications

0 0

The Triple Sloth is often used to modulate PWM on bass sounds and to add chaos to delay times, creating unique, unpredictable audio textures.
Source
0 0

Triple Sloths can be particularly useful in creating movement in a patch without needing constant adjustments, ideal for "set and forget" modulation.
Source
0 0

Owners often use Sloths to modulate pitch on samples with a cycle time as slow as one every 15 minutes, enhancing ambient and drone music styles.
Source

Comparisons

0 0

Compared to The Hypster, Sloths has a steady rate of change, while Hypster’s rate varies, providing more dynamic chaos.
Source
0 0

Compared to Divkid Øchd, Triple Sloths is preferred for its slow, long-duration modulations that can take 40 seconds to 40 minutes per cycle.
Source
0 0

The Orbit 3 module in low-frequency mode has a maximum cycle of around 7 minutes, while the Sloths Inertia can extend to approximately 30 minutes per cycle.
Source
0 0

Instruo Øchd, with its knob and CV control, can cycle down to 25 minutes and has eight outputs, providing an organic feel without a master clock.
Source

Features and functionality

0 0

Sloths outputs chaotic signals with X and Y outputs that form spirals and sudden reversals, which cannot be fully replicated by simple LFO setups.
Source
0 0

NLC Triple Sloths excels in creating slow, subtle modulations, making it particularly effective for drone and ambient music styles.
Source

Mods and upgrades

0 0

The Ornament and Crime app, Low-Rents, offers similar chaos with fewer outputs but more control, providing an alternative to Sloths.
Source
0 0

The Zlob Diode Chaos, though smaller with only three outputs, offers a rate control knob, unlike Sloths, which shifts or tilts orbits.
Source

User experience

0 0

Owners appreciate Sloths for its hands-off chaos generation, contrasting with more parameter-defined chaos in modules like the Orbit 3.
Source
0 0

Some users find NLC module descriptions and demos lacking in clarity, suggesting a need for more straightforward explanations or musical demonstrations.
Source
0 0

Some users find the predictable pattern of the Sloths, despite its chaotic nature, reduces its appeal after extended use.

Other

0 0

The creator of NLC modules has a PhD in chaos theory, influencing the unique chaotic behavior of the modules, which may appeal to those interested in the science behind the gear.
