The NonLinearCircuits Helvetica Scenario Eurorack Module is a dual sample & hold with voltage controlled slew for each channel. It uses a jerk chaos circuit running at 300Hz as a source for sampling, similar to the Buchla 265 Source of Uncertainty but with less components and without weird power supply voltages. The module features two channels in 8HP, with Clock 2 normalled to Clock 1, and offers three output options: Stepped Out only samples from the chaos circuit, whereas the S&H Out and Smooth Out are sampled from whatever signal is patched to the Sample In. The module provides six different chaos signals when driven with a single clock signal and adjusting the Slew pot.
