It is a continuation of the \"smooth\" and \"stepped\" fluctuating random voltage sources pioneered by Don Buchla within the Model 265 \"Source of Uncertainty,\" expanding it to include the other-worldly Woggle CVs (stepped voltages with decaying sinusoids edges). The Wogglebug is a very musical random voltage generator where it is possible to synchronize all random signal to a Master Clock.
