Oscilloscope Music - Pictures from Sound

An oscilloscope can be made to display shapes by playing sounds into it. Making music from these sounds while simultaneously drawing images with those sounds takes things to another level. CLICK SHOW MORE
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.

thing is that a vectorscope has a basically infinite resolution. so it's kinda unfair to compare to anything pixel based

[@JackLe1127]

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.

[@Mikeywil0003]

I never thought you could make such complex patterns on the screen, and have the output still sound like music.

[@isaiahdaniels5643]

Mikey I know, my thoughts exactly. Maybe it has to do with inaudible frequencies?

[@sokolum]

Mikey I am amazed as swell.

[@SamiJumppanen]

Brandon Burrows it's about the phasing (delay) between left and right. The scope draws fine regardless of the frequency, so it all can as well be audible. Admitting, I was quite surprised seeing this beautiful image and sound! And the scope with level meters... Beautiful!

[@PlasmaHH]

JF created a program funded by some kickstarter that you can use to explore these things and see how it is built. There are two ways to do this. One is to generate patterns that really sound like something, the other is basically create the patterns that draw something with high fps, which will then sound like ugly noise, then add on top in higher volume some actual sound that doesn't distort what you see too much, but due to persistence of vision and the phosphor of the CRO, you won't see that much but more of the wanted image, since its drawn over and over again on the same spot, while the audio jumps around. For the fine details and sharp edges, you use frequencies that are inaudibly high (thats why you really need at least 96kHz to have proper images). From those basic principles you can start.

[@SamiJumppanen]

Dennis Lubert oh, thank you very much for that info! I had thought that you need a high end audio source for getting sharp corners without overshooting. But the inaudible content can surely be used.

[@MohammedMuaawia]

[@RealEngineering]

This is amazing. I need to learn how this works. Fancy working on a video together explaining this in more detail?

[@MikeDermksian]

you guys should definitely do that! huge fan of real engineering and would love to learn more about (what I imagine is) superposition of waves and the representation of sound in an x-y domain rather than a time-magnitude domain

[@laharl2k]

Real Engineering he mentioned there was some distortion because some cards or devices cant actually do 192Ks/s so my guess is as we cant heard stuff above 20khz at best, i bet that the rest of the bandwith from 20khz to 96khz is used to do the image on the screen. I suppose it works on the fact that phosphor has some retention making an average of the image and so while the XY image from the music would look quite random on the screen, the rest of the image which is above the hearing range goes over the same places over and over again making the trace do the drawing. Maybe im wrong but some like 90Khz carrier with AM modulation for the image sounds like a place where i would start if i had to take a look at this idea. also either the sound is mono and the right channel does the diferential signal or both channels are diferentially modulated, which sounds like the best way imo.

[@PixlRainbow]

Laharl Krichevskoy sorry for necroposting, but 192kHz is the "sample rate". It is not an actual sound frequency present in the file. The way digital files store audio data has similarities to how video is stored. Video is stored as a series of sequential images to represent a moving scene. Digital sound is stored as "samples" which are sequential snapshots of speaker coil displacement/position. 192kHz sample rate means that in one second there are 192 segments. Higher numbers mean that you get closer to true analog, which moves smoothly from one displacement point to another (whereas digital audio with it's "samples" can only move in steps)

[@jennysbloke]

Pixl Rainbow - I am guessing you meant to write that there are 192,000 samples per second. Not only 192 ! The latter would be appallingly bad resolution 😄

[@MBprosoundservis]

Start at find some ILDA converter for lasershow, it works on the same principle like this machine

[@andrebartels1690]

Fabulous! I've wanted to do that for years, and now you tell me that there's even music especially designed for the purpose of display on oscilloscopes. Great!

[@cScottD]

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.

[@ViktorAdriaansens]

I think it looks cooler with the non-192 kHz display. The glitches make it look more interesting than just the flat lines

[@annother3350]

Step 5: ??? Step 6....

[@davidpietras5471]

GustavTheGoat you wouldn't be able to do that because these oscilliscopes show a modified version of the audio waves, and this music was made specifically for the oscilliscope to display. If you put it a different song it would just come out a random mess, unless it was designed for the oscilliscope.

[@afloyd4976]

I never knew pictures on an oscilloscope from music was possible!!

[@rich1051414]

Well, its obvious when you realize how these function. The voltage level of channel 1 controls the X axis, and the voltage level of channel 2 controls the Y axis. The 'voltage level' of an audio waveform is expressed by the point on the waveform and how loud the sound is. Drawing with sound is dead easy, now making it sound good... that is where the art comes in xD

[@notreallyokay9355]

Richard Smith There are also some spectrogram images in music, some with generic creepy faces.

[@Z80user]

You also can create images than can see with an Spectrum analizer but is a diferent way, instead 2D you get 1 dimension of pixels and the time is the second dimension

[@bennypika3575]

not an actual picture of sound. Just software of picture playing along with the sound, rhymes and thickness will change within the image to the music

[@Braeden123698745]

Thats gotta be the coolest thing I've ever seen on phosphorus.

[@musmodtos]

As the person who possibly started the 'Vectorscope vs oscilloscope' thing I did baulk at the first few lines of the video thinking 'shit, what have I done!' But this is cool, and I've fired up my venerable old Tek 2211 to have a play. Another top video Mat :)

[@Techmoan]

A few dozen people told me that it was a vectorscope so don't worry about it. Since oscilloscope is a more commonly used (if possibly not a perfectly accurate) term I just used that.

[@musmodtos]

Techmoan - fair play! I did get excited this was going to head in to a Dave Jones mashup and you were going to say 'In like Flynn,' 'Bobby Dazzler', 'That's all she wrote' and 'Don't turn it on, take it apharrt'.... Techmoan, Dave Jones and old Tek' 'scopes. Heavens, that's a thought :P

[@mipmipmipmipmip]

If you'd buy an oscilloscope,what would you get that is not similar to this device?

[@musmodtos]

mipmipmipmipmip - Mat rightly hits on it in the video, X-Y mode which with all due is a bit deep for a KZbin reply. Lots of scopes have an X-Y mode, which is all dandy but the use of an oscilloscope is to show Y/Time. I'm trying to think of a decent analogy sitting here in the pub, give me a minute :P

[@musmodtos]

mipmipmipmipmip to see this in the best possible way as many have pointed out an old CRO [cathode ray oscilloscope] (pronounce it 'crow' to sound hip) is the way forward, digital scopes are phenomenal but this kind of true wave display are where old cathode-Ray machines win by a mile. That's why most electronics types use a digital 'scope but keep hold of an old CRO under the bench as they still spank digital ones in a few arenas. I wouldn't unpick serial protocols with my 2211, I wouldn't use the Rigol for vector display. Tektronics are the 'Rolls Royce' of 'scopes. (LeCroy fanboys need not apply) so Mat has quite a serious bit of kit here!

[@michaelaj4495]

I'm blown away with how varied this channel gets, it's awesome. Great work techmoan. I also prefer your oscilloscope because it gives the images a cool 3d effect.

[@ChipGuy]

Just realized when I watched it for the 2nd time that those who say it's a vectorscope are actually wrong. Calling them that is marketing stuff. A vectorscope always needs a stable reference signal in order to display the color vectors (hence vectorscope). But neither of the right nor the left channel of audio can count as reference signal. The term oscilloscope is correct, it's just the rarely used XY mode, usually YT mode is used. If you use a real vectorscope you won't be able to display those signals, since they use color reference signal phase stabilizers that would interfer with the audio signal. Also they are not made for audio frequencies but for 3.19 to 4.33 MHz signals.

[@tschak909]

THIS.

[@feicodeboer]

A vector scope shows phase between two (or more e.g. 5.1 sound) while an oscilloscope shows signal amplitude versus time. Vector scopes are typically used in broadcasting and mastering to check phase. An oscilloscopy with X-Y option can function as a two channel vector scope. You may call it marketing, but typically they are different devices used in different applications.

[@DATApush3r]

This style is very inter-relatable... thus why he's approaching a million folks subscribed. Nice work Techmoan... please make a video about the dehydration of wall pigment, thank you.

[@LesNewell]

Many moons ago when I was much younger and had lots of spare time I built a vector scope out of an old RGB computer monitor. Left and right were sent to the CRT deflection coils via current amplifiers and the red, green and blue guns were fed from high, mid and low pass filters respectively. The results were pretty spectacular as the colour and intensity of the patterns changed with the music.

Never herd of people calling oscilloscopes vector scopes, it is a given that they are vector. Also keep up the Muppet skits, they continue to entertain.

[@mipmipmipmipmip]

TheEPROM9 I've been studying and working in science and technology all my life and this was the first time I ever even heard of the word 'vectorscope'. I assumed it was maybe some electrical-engineering secret word to know if someone is part of the inner circle of the EE cult.

[@MrDuncl]

As the name implies oscilloscopes are normally used for looking at oscillations. For that you want the X axis to be time. Vector displays (or Vectorscopes) were used to display all sorts of things but went out of fashion when memory became cheap enough to put an entire image scan in memory. Great examples of vector displays were Atari Asteroids, the Vectrex home computer game and all sorts of 1970s test equipment such as HP Spectrum analysers that cost as much as a house. Of course now modern oscilloscopes do everything in pixels as an LCD display is more versatile and costs less to make than a decent CRT.

[@Bondubras]

I like how the left/right signals sent into the oscilloscope are also being sent as is through the video. As somebody who uses headphones with their computer, it's cool to hear the differing channels used to get the images on screen. For example, as I'm listening, I can tell that the left channel audio was linked to the vertical axis on the oscilloscope, with right channel feeding the horizontal axis.

[@morphman86]

[@Pseudomuse_]

very cool video. good job on the restoration btw

[@skyoreece9805]

This is awesome, I never knew that this was possible, since I started electronics in the 90s as a tv video audio engineer. I had a few scopes then but sadly didn't keep them.

[@patrickkielly]

Thank you for sharing this!

[@FiNiTe_weeb]

Imo the double lines make it 50 times better, also the colours and blur on your one is very nice.

[@ChairmanMeow1]

[@77PacerStudios]

@Galaxy Recordz Vaporwave is a genre of music, not an artist.

One of my all time favourite vids.

These are the dopest samples I’ve ever heard

2:06 "I did switch it on just to see if it was working but it made a big bang and lots of smoke came out of it"... This is a common thing: Most electronic equipment has a filter capacitor at the mains input that's connected straight across the live and neutral lines. Over time, those capacitors dry out and make a short circuit, so when you plug the device in and switch on the power: Bang! Once you had a big bang, the device will probably work okay if the rest of the electronics are alright (but other capacitors may have dried out too, especially if you get something from after 1992 or so). You may have to change the fuse though. I you know how to recognize these "explosive" filter caps (usually it's a yellow and/or translucent part near the mains input) you can cut them off before you plug in a "new" vintage device to the mains next time. They work fine without them and sometimes when they blow up they can make quite a mess with chemicals spraying around. Make sure you're cutting off the filter capacitor (again: connected between live and neutral) and not anything else, of course. And obviously do that while it's not plugged in. By the way: funniest muppet ending ever! :-)

There were a few other issues as well, however it served its purpose as a donor well and now lives at the recycling centre.

Techmoan Should've ate it

[@Jerbod2]

I have not been entertained by something like this for years... I watched it with my mouth open, like a child :)

[@tdcattech]

I was the same. Particularly the butterfly towards the end. Just astounding.

[@prodipto]

same here

[@Zephyeran]

I know the other methods are cleaner, but there's something so much cooler about watching them on your Oscilloscope. I just really like the way it breaks and yet holds enough consistency that you can tell what is happening, it almost makes it feel more.. intense? And like I can *feel* that it's all from sound even in the visuals? Meanwhile the clean versions feel a bit.. Stiff? Sterile? The chaotic yet controlled feel of the extra lines and the breaks on your device just felt a lot more raw and I love it. If I dip my toes into this music form ever, I definitely want to recreate *that* aspect of it. The lines being unstable, imperfect, and yet you can understand what's being portrayed still. I like that idea.

[@JonathanCappolino]

I wish there was a way to super like 👍 this video. I was between smiling and my mouth open in shear fascination and awe. You’ve opened my mind into a world of ideas! THANK YOU 🙏!!

[@Samo762]

I honestly think you should dedicate a channel to your muppet (whatever they are) skits
