What is this waveform visualizer called?

Post by n2design » Sun Dec 09, 2012 1:28 am

Hi All,
I ran into this plugin (http://bram.smartelectronix.com/plugins.php?id=4). I'm wondering what the hardware/scientific name is? I did a search on amazon for "Waveform visualisation" but nothing bubbled up.

I'm hoping to find something that accepts 1/4~in/out. It be great to get a visualization of what I'm doing.

It's an Ocilloscope.

Used oscilloscopes can be found for $150-$300 depending on the model and features. New ones can easily reach into the thousands, and specialized cables with 1/4" plugs and/or jacks will run you a pretty penny unless you can make them yourself. :wink:

hey, EXCELLENT videos Voltor!
I LOVE the one where you wear welding goggles and play Control Voltage with two 1/4" jacks on your tongue! :D
i have seen big old used analog Oscilliscopes up for sale, and how you say CHEAP, but with BNC jacks and have wondered how I would go about rigging one up!
I wish I had paid closer attention and taken some iPhone photos and notes at Moogfest this year.There were half a dozen or so Etherwave Theremins hooked up to Oscilliscopes and Moogerfoogers for The Bob Moog Foundation, with audio out to headphones for visitors to enjoy ~ as usual as soon as I started playing I got so distracted by the fabulous SOUND i totally zoned out on the science :(

yeah, think Im just going to opt for a VST.

Sure would be awesome if the touch pad on the moog had a waveform view. that would be sick.,..

Thanks! That's my favorite video, too. :) Yeah, VST's are probably cheaper/easier to use, n2design. Best of luck!
