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

[@InvincibleExtremes]

coolest thing i'd watched in a while

[@joequst]

That's exactly what I was thinking.

[@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.

[@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 😄

[@heckicusdoomicuswizardus1382]

what in the fuck are you doin here

[@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.

[@Braeden123698745]

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

[@AnOfficialAndrewFloyd]

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

[@morshlop]

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

[@KingSlimjeezy]

mind blown. Always wanted to dig deeper into oscilloscope tech, they have seemingly fallen out of practical use even in technical industries so i've never felt the need to go deeper than a wiki page or two. As with many things you feature here, hipstery folks like myself will surely be sporting these in a half decade or so.

[@AmericanSuit]

[@thefakepie1126]

[@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.

[@camerica7400]

The guy who creates those audio images is a true artist

[@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

[@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!

[@YensR]

> the use of an oscilloscope is to show Y/Time. Yes - but also no. We have used oscilloscopes in engineering research, with x-y mode showing the acceleration of an elastic rotor in x and y direction. The result is an orbit and the scope allows you to immediately see what is going.

[@joonasfi]

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.

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@craiglocke8116]

what i was looking for was just horrible computer generated noises to make pictures on an oscilloscope i never expected actual MUSIC. this was awesome!

[@JacGoudsmit]

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! :-)

[@solidamber]

I love the way the sound makes pictures on the screen, what about if you had a CRT display and a receiving circuit then someone could somehow take the images from a movie camera turn them into a waveform and transmit them from a distance to the CRT receiver then it could reform the the original footage to view at home.

[@christopherhorstmann5733]

In one way I'm thinking - Isn't that idea already invented, and called television? But on the other hand, when the television was analog, the image frequencies sent through the antenna cable wasn't audible. Frequencies in MHz isn't hearable. So what you're looking for is basically a television that's slightly limited, due to its limitation in bandwidth, and that the frequencies producing the image is also the frequencies that you'll hear.

[@johnr6168]

The old console versions of Atari Asteroids used what in effect was an oscilloscope type display (but using a standard monochrome CRT) instead of a standard CRT monitor (with the normal timebase) . This meant the CRT spot was effectively drawing the rocks, spaceships & scores etc. by having the game processor control the X & Y postions and switch the beam, rather than produce a standard video signal for a standard raster scan monitor.

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.

Awesome as Fu**. Also loved the sarcastic puppet clip at the end.

That beat though at 5:36

I'd noticed the 760 lurking in the background of one of your other videos and wondered what you were going to do with it, now I have serious scope-envy! 8-) As the unit is designed for professional audio the levels it expects to see are higher than consumer audio devices deliver. There are numerous boxes available to convert levels and go from single-ended (unbalanced) to balanced; this one is particularly neat www.rdlnet.com/product.php?page=53 If you use one of these the display will be larger and the bargraph meters will also indicate more accurately. I really enjoy your channel!

[@Techmoan]

Thanks for the info.

[@barrykent9877]

Damn incredible! I'm so glad've I found your channel! Everyday I learn that I know so little even I love 70-80's and it was "my time"... But osciloscope graphics is something I saw year or two ago, but have no idea there was so much more about it! Thank you!

[@phelan8903]

Why did I take so long to watch this video? This is probably my favorite video you made. I've got to buy one of these things.

Hello Techmoan, I am a subscriber of yours from a while back, and I have recently started catching up on your videos again. I just watched your "DCC and elcaset" video, in which you briefly mentioned mp1 format audio. It made me realize that there aren't really any good videos out there that compare mp1, mp2, and mp3 format audio. I was wondering if you would consider doing a video on that subject, with the technical details and pros/cons of each format, and possibly even audio samples (and yes, I know it wouldn't sound the best on youtube, but still). I'm not really sure if it's "your area" or "your thing" but I just wanted to ask about it in case it was. Eagerly awaiting a reply, -Sotolefish

[@Techmoan]

It's a bit technical for me..it would need someone who understands it better, I'm more of just an end user.

[@Mythricia1988]

A cool little side-detail of this is that you can actually embed some graphics and shapes into normal music, without it being audible at all. I've overlaid a binary message and some Lissajous patterns into some random music just to test it, and, well, the binary message could be recorded from an oscilloscope, yet the music sounded completely normal. Useless? Yes. But, neat? Yes!

[@Dogedows]

maybe not useless if you lived say... In china and like political satire or some such.

[@Seegalgalguntijak]

This is the essence of electronic music, 40 years after electronic music has been created :)

[@random-protogen]

One of the nicest looking Tektronix scopes I have seen, very good condition

[@MildlyCreative]

I love how he managed to make a cool animation while making the actual audio sound awesome at the same time.

[@Anamnesia]

Well done! I think it's awesome that you've managed to salvage two less-than perfect units, into one * === Almost NEW === *!

[@Samo762]

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

[@Techmoan]

Here it is kzbin.info_pedant

[@Samo762]

[@stargr]

We LOVE the muppets!

[@hpottstock]

Subscribed!

[@Crlarl]

+Techmoan Why are all of the puppets missing from KZbin Pedant?

[@Logic44]

5:08 I LOVE THIS NEW DUBSTEP

[@MrLordofcoffee]

Jesus christ this is one of the most satisfying random recommended youtube vids I've ever randomly clicked on

[@shmanielshmlane2359]

this genuinely memorized me to the point i was re-watching it at different speeds over and over and over again

[@-DeScruff]

Thats awesome! Actually I might give that emulator a try, cause im just curious what my music looks like through one. - Probably just 'garbage' but ehhh why not. It could look interesting. EDIT: It looks like Chiptunes are... boring being just a thin flat diagonal line: Probably because of how square waves work.

[@KarlKarlex]

Sypran I tried it and it is quite nice

[@GENATARi]

Sypran that's because it's mono audio :|

[@prfo5554]

I could see someone putting this in a sci-fi movie like the original Tron

[@brokenscart7989]

That puppet thing made me LOL

[@mattmmilli8287]

I think the imperfections in your rebuilt one made it even better with the wiggles and wobbles it had

[@comment2009]

The scope is used for displaying the phase and amplitude between left and right channels. The graticule that was tossed aside was used for measurement. Very handy in broadcast transmissions. Today, high end audio mixers have a digital display version used for surround sound mixing.

[@joeajbeaumont]

I'm something of a habitual lurker on KZbin; I never normally comment, even on channels I adore - but I am compelled to tell you just how great your Zac Gobshite skit is. Absolutely perfect. Please let's see him again!

[@The0nlySplash]

5:30 that sound is fuckin nice

[@rexisbrq]

*5:37** - **5:52** Sounds reaaallyyy good! ~>~*

[@BlueRockEye]

I think that 6:10 souns good

[@fg3ify]

The melody is from here m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmrcp5VmaLdlp9U

[@aterack833]

Rex is bro I’ve heard a song that has that in it

[@trvshologrvm]

One of the best recomendation KZbin made it for me. ❤️

[@theartistformerlyknownassh9534]

This might be the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life, the music sounds great (to me, a big fan of weird electronic music) too.
