In the video I fix up and put an old oscilloscope to a new use, and show how you can watch these audio-visual demos even if you don't have a oscilloscope by using a computer.

If you have an old X/Y capable oscilloscope you'll probably need a pair of BNC male to RCA female converters like these amzn.to/2f67Qsk if you want to connect audio devices to it.

Even this 80's looking thing can produce better visuals than windows media player...
-
Why is Oscilloscope Dubstep not a genre yet.
-
BRILLIANT
-
One interesting thing I found while watching this video: I was watching it on a home theater setup that could decode Dolby Surround stereo to 7.1 surround signal. Because the music needed to use phase shifts and stuff to move the image around the screen, the sound got sent to random speakers all around me. It was quite an experience.
-
coolest thing i'd watched in a while
-
I never thought you could make such complex patterns on the screen, and have the output still sound like music.
-
5:38 Very satisfying that the springy sound creates a springy image!
-
My mind is blown. How on Earth do you get magic mushrooms and butterflies from sound?
-
Well i never knew i needed a Oscilloscope
-
This is the coolest shit I have ever seen.
-
7:34 I like this version more than the "working" version. I'd buy an oscilloscope with a limited range just to create these visual echo effects. Makes it look more organic than a boring line drawing.
-
6:10 killer baseline! Almost sounds like pertubator or something
-
Surprisingly this oscilloscope music sounds ok
-
I think it looks cooler with the non-192 kHz display. The glitches make it look more interesting than just the flat lines
-
It looks 1000x cooler on the actual oscilloscope. That shit looked amazing!
-
One of the first programmes I wrote for my TRS-80 back in high school was one that read the audio data from the cassette interface (the computer had tape input instead of disc drives) and displayed it on the screen. I called it LightShow and I had great fun running my stereo aux output to the cassette input and watching the display change with the music.
-
I understand completely how this works, but I still can't wrap my head around how awesome it looks.
-
Surprisingly harmonic. I was expecting just a load of noise to get images like that.
-
That's so cool
