## Description

The _random bit-shift sequencer_ (rbss) is a variation on the well-established Turing Machine source of randomness in a single-width AEModular module.

Three controls: rate, length and chance - length and chance also being voltage-controllable — the incoming clock signal illuminates an LED beneath the logo.


The **rbss** has the following parameters:
- Random Bit Shift Sequencer of 16 steps;
- Length is variable by front-panel control and control voltage;
- Chance control determines whether a bit will flip;
- Chance moves from **0** (never flips) to **1** (always flips);
- Clock signal variable to low audio rate — front panel control only;
- at higher frequencies rbss can be used as a random wavetable source;
- audio output can be used to create interesting rhythmic clicks.</li>

## Shipping policy

Unfortunately it is not possible to link product stock levels with those from the regular wonkystuff shop, so there might be times when items are not currently in stock. In these cases I will contact you to update the expected shipping times (which will need to include the manufacturing time of course).

We aim to get thiings shipped out as quickly as possible; please feel free to contact me if you think things are taking too long!
