I've tried searching for information as well as find the manual to no avail.... seriously, i just don't get it

Apart from analogue noise and clock generator, it's sort of a pseudo-random module, generating stepped sequences that are more or less repetitive, depending on settings.

It does this by using an 8-bit register. For each clock, it shifts the bits 1 step to the right (or possibly left), and inserts a new bit at the last position. This new bit is deternmined either by wraping the overflow bit, or by inserting a new randomly generated one. (the probability of insert/wrap, and probability of inserting 1/0 is adjustable and CV controllable)

The outputs are 2^n+1 and n+1 respectively (if I remember correctly), with n being the numerical 8 bit value represented by the eight bits in the shift register.

Guess that only makes sense if you understand a bit of digital tech and arithmetics. If not, well, think of it as a stepped random generator, where the repetitiveness of the step sequence is adjustable.

someone on the muffwiggler IRC channel explained it like this

One of my favorite modules - it can do no wrong: analogue and digital noise, quantized random voltages and lovely blinkenlights!

Actually, just thought up a better explanation.

It's like the Wogglebug, but different. hihi

what it is is worth your time to explore. it is a fantastic module with a million uses. can even be tuned to be vco which can track (albeit with some difficulty). people should stop constructing questioning threads about the noisering and just buy one (or two). you will not regret it.

I did notice that my hair was noticeably thicker and more luxurious once I purchased mine. Unfortunately it was on my back and shoulders, but hey, you can't have it all.

Noisering is a lifestyle.

I love my Noisering. It makes come to life every patches.

Just get one and it will MY ASS IS BLEEDING

I still don't know what it is, but it's literally in every patch. I need it, you need it.
Modular synthesis would suck w/o it.

The noisering i like warm apple pie.

I fell into a noisy ring or noisering and it rang rang rang, that ring of noisering, that ring of noisering
