Jerobeam Fenderson - Spirals (oscilloscope software comparison)

Check out the original audiovisual experience by Jerobeam Fenderson: • Jerobeam Fenderson - S...
I made this video to study how well my oscilloscope stacks up against the competition and to look for what I can improve. My goal is not to copy every behavior of an analog oscilloscope, but to study it on a purely aesthetic basis and take it further by expanding on the artistic and creative options.

I'm pretty sure MOTU looks real wild because it also shows the lines that aren't supposed to be shown, and indicating all the different intensities with different colors instead of different lightnesses.

[@G4mm4G0bl1n]

Yep, but MOTU has also an extended processing time. The frames are sometimes slowing down, but yes it shows the mathematical relevance on how the shapes are getten formed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_the_shape_of_a_drum

[@wun_zee3599]

Imagine trying to make an entire image with that though, is it even possible?

yeah it has a trail line

Bottom left had the sharpest, most defined lines, but the bottom right had that chaotic static that would be great for like a super intense electronic post rock music video

Do you mean the bottom left has sharpest?

stop screaming

[@I0NE007]

Soundemote is definitely great, so it may be difficult to pinpoint what needs improvement. I do really like the "thermal vision" effect where more recently active portions are bright yellow while areas of lesser activity are blue/purple. And I think we can all agree "At least it's more accurate than MOTU."

[@Thefreakyfreek]

I0NE007 no i dont agree moto is more accurate so much so that its shows the fast conecting wires wich is not good in this case but in some different cases it could be

[@Q-TebGamesNL]

@@Thefreakyfreek *too* accurate

[@Q-TebGamesNL]

Damn I wish I could see that effect Got partial colorblindness so rip

[@I0NE007]

@@Thefreakyfreek (never got the notification for this, sorry). I think the difference in "accuracy" is between "properly displays what the signal truly equates to" (having additional lines others don't display on other systems) versus "properly displays a digital representation of what a physical oscilloscope would display for this signal."

[@clyde-or-monty]

I0NE007 Apparently it actually displays all the lines that make the others look fuzzy when there is bass. The lines are basically just there. In MOTU, at least.

Ok, Soundemote, I figured out whose spiral's who's. Green is Jerobeam Blue is Asdfg Orange is you Rainbow is MOTU

Soundemote looks the best

no one: literally no one: motu: i have better technique

[@farismallah5740]

The bottom right is the best one artistically imo, *but* the other three do showcase what can be done with oscilliscope music easier (also like the mix of orange and purple on bottom left)

[@davidaugustojr421]

The bottom right one is FUNKY

[@two67gh]

motu looks the coolest

at 3:00 the MOTU glitch actually looks good for a few seconds

[@hungkieu3718]

the reason why MOTU goes epilepsy mode is because MOTU, apparently needs to generate the spirals, so that’s probably why it flashes rainbow in beat drop.

*spiraling,* isn't it? Xd

[@SirNarax]

Was Motu just not configured properly or something. It seems to be drawing lines it shouldn't be.

[@imnotbeluga007]

It has beam return paths. The beam is moving at 196+ kHz frequencies, afterall. CRT oscilloscopes have a special part of their electron gun that temporarily blocks the beam as the magnetic field coils are jumping back to the beginning without turning off the heater. That would also turn off the beam, but it would have to cool down and warm up again.
