How to Get Started With Oscilloscope Music
So if you wanted to send an analog receiver into an older scope (Precise 300b), how would you go about hooking that up safely? What sort of connections would you need on the rca cables for L and R?
isn't that a vectroscope?
Which scope are you using in this video
And another question again sorry, you said it’s able to hook up directly to the cd player through the adapter + rca cable, so it will be able show music frequency’s and etc?
2:10
Everyone's setup will be slightly different. A common output for cd players is a 3.5mm aka 1/8in cable. Assuming that is what your situation is, a 1/8in to stereo RCA splitter would work. You would also need an RCA to BNC adapter to get the RCA cables to connect to the scopes BNC inputs.
@@ericlennartson Thanks for the reply,This will help a lot, since this video wasn’t released recently!!
I maxed the bit rate, but alas. You can still make out some of the magic eye.
hey I was wondering if you would be willing to share the files?
Most of these shorts are one off demos as I build out my patches. I don't have the files anymore unfortunately.
@ unfortunate, but thank you for the reply 🙏
7:30 "which is definitely beyond the scope of this video" 😂
i knew this would be the first thing i saw down here lmao
This is so Nine Inch Nails! You should work with Michael Trent Reznor on a new album. Call it "10 Million Hurts!"
Can you still play audio through external speakers while plugged into the oscilloscope at the same time?
@@tracelawson1367 100%. When I perform, I use my 4x4 audio interface to give me 2 copies of the sound. 1 copy for the scope, and 1 copy for the speakers. If you have an audio interface with more outputs, you can get more copies. If you had a 2x6 for example, you would have 3 copies, giving you 1 for a set of speakers and 2 scopes.
yes, i do that with a mono amplifier and a single speaker, i do a "mix to mono" network that is just two resistors of like 10 kiloohms that connect to the inner conductors of the audio cables and then the two resistors at the other side of em join in one point and go to the amplifier ("Y" connection), ground is all common and not connected to the network... alternatively you can simply tap onto the two inner conductors of the RCAs and put a stereo amplifier with two speakers
Fr, why does it sound like clarinet in the beginning
as a music hobbyist this was really inspiring, getting to the fundamentals of composing for a temporal artform (: what a cool place to start. Oscilloscope art is v inspiring
So cool!

♾
every time i come across another oscilloscope artist on youtube i genuinely giggle with glee lmao this is awesome (i am not one (yet) but music connected to visuals is just as a concept very interesting to me)
This looks like magic. literally.
This is great as ever ❤
A lot of info = a lot of fun 🔥
I’m jumpscaring my friends now 😭💀
Woah this is cool
Fantastic!
Sirve para algo? 😂😂
This is just terrific!
To me it sounds relaxing
How would I dc couple music from a preamp?
I'm not entirely sure what your setup is, so it's a little tough for me to say exactly. The sound needs to be dc coupled all the way through the signal chain; or at the very least from the point in which an offset is desired. So for a preamp, if the signal going into it is dc coupled, and the preamp itself is also dc coupled, then it should work. Generally speaking, for most musical uses having a dc offset is not desirable, so finding equipment that allows for this can be tricky to find sometimes. You don't necessarily need a dc coupled signal for all oscilloscope music though. There's plenty of cool things you can do without one. I'd take your preamp, plug it in, and see what happens. It might look cool already!
This is such a well scripted, well explained, and well edited video. This isn't a topic for the masses, but you've done such a good job at explaining and presenting it that I think anyone would find this fun to watch. Your presentation and voice remind me a lot of another TH-camr called Hyperplexed who does very fun to watch web desing videos! Keep up the good work!
@@Bikes-with-Ben Thank you for the kind words!
Thank you, I'm going to give it a shot !
this is sooo helpfull !! thank you !!!

Need help troubleshooting? Here's some places to ask for help! forum.oscilloscopemusic.com www.reddit.com/r/oscilloscopemusic/ discord.com/invite/wJY7cRbwyz
I'm using the "Oscilloscope!" software and I'm having the image cantering issue from using an AC interface. I'm not sure how to fix this as I'm not using a DAC, and I am giving the program the raw file as well as trying streaming the audio live. I have messed with all the settings to get a clear image but it hasn't prevented the dots from automatically cantering. Any suggestions?
Trying to troubleshoot from the yt comments section is always tricky, but I'll do my best. The first thing that comes to mind is that there may be a high pass filter somewhere in your audio chain. (this is basically all AC coupling really is.) I'd start from the beginning of the chain and slowly step through it, looking for any settings that may be in your software to disable anything that is modifying the audio. I'm unsure of the OS being used, or how the audio is being routed, but I do believe it's possible to play a file directly from the "Oscilloscope!" app. If it's still got issues when playing directly from the app, then there may be an issue with the audio file itself. The other thing to check is that a hifi lossless audio file is being used. (Something like a .wav). Other lossy file types will compress the data and have pretty heavy impact on the image. You can't just convert an mp3 into a wav either, since once the data has been compressed, you can't recover it. (thus we call it a lossy file type). Troubleshooting can be frustrating, but there's plenty of friendly people in these communities, you can also ask for help! forum.oscilloscopemusic.com www.reddit.com/r/oscilloscopemusic/ discord.com/invite/wJY7cRbwyz
Bhai 20000 hertz ke age sun hi nhi sakte.how it is possible
The title is just for fun! I did use 10 million Hz though. Though, It's impossible to perceive, and speakers aren't really meant to produce those frequencies anyways, since we can't hear them.
Waveforms displayed this way is cool, how is it done or with please?

BEAUTIFUL VIDEO THANK YIU FOR THIS
yes
I appreciate the oscilloscope guys, this is a lot of important geometrical math. They just don't know it, yet. Trust. If I use any of these, I'll fly you a jet-pack.
Thanks. lol
Do you connect the usb-c audio interface into something ?
The audio interface is connected to your computer. It's what allows you to get the sounds from your computer into the scope.
if i have a vectrex how could i do this?
I have never personally done the vectrex mod, but here's a link to a guide that walks you through it. It's more or less a similar set up once you've modded the vectrex; use an audio interface to send a dc coupled audio signal from your computer to the vectrex. users.sussex.ac.uk/~ad207/adweb/assets/vectrexminijackinputmod2014.pdf
🔥⚡️🤟📺
Is it a space filling curve?
yeah, it's called the hilbert curve
This deserves more views, very useful :)
10,000,000 Hz is the frequency of angels. You're a genius.
Wow! What healing power. Destroyed all parasitic infestations inside my earthly body. Words cannot express my level of gratitude for this beautiful composition.🎉
So I need a dual input oscilloscope not a single channel ?
Correct, you'll need two channels. One for x and another for y. You'll also need the scope to have an xy or lissajous mode. Here's a video I made that goes into more detail. th-cam.com/video/1YdpCH9v5Kk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HLvk49LsQ__r6LyU
Incredibly insightful and well-described as ever, Eric! You definitely have a skill for presenting this information in a very clear way, and have definitely given me some ideas - I particularly love the simple fading effect between objects!

I. Always. Always. Always. Learn something from your vids. Thanks for posting this. Required viewing and I'll be back to review more when I learn more.
