Oscilloscope for TouchDesigner with XY mode for drawing (Project Files)

I’ve been kind of obsessed with oscilloscope music/drawing this past week. And kind of sad due to the fact that the cool analog ones that were being sold in my area were super over-priced or in terrible shape.

That’s why I decided to build one in TouchDesigner (and I was able to include the so precious XY mode!)

What you’re hearing in the first video is a segment of Jerobeam Fenderson’s “Planets”, track part of his amazing album “Oscilloscope Music”. And all the visuals you’re seeing are being generated by just using said track as an input for the oscilloscope built in TD in XY mode. (Yes, Jerobeam is awesome)

There’s still some room for improvement, but I’m quite happy with the “analog vibe” I managed to give the whole thing.

Without further ado..

I suppose you're doing something incorrectly, since I tried with different computers and it works fine. Could you please share with me an image of what you're seeing in your screen?

Hi, when I disconnect the butterfly and connect the oscillators, you can barely see the lines. How do I make it look like how you have it in the video? It is so faint you can barely see it

Hey, Hakan! How are you? I'd advice you to watch a couple of "oscilloscope-music" tutorials first. I think it would be pretty difficult to draw with piano, due to the nature of his sound. You could maybe try with the experimental builds that I've uploaded yesterday. Those are prepared to generate cool visuals from non-oscilloscope music.

you only have butterfly audio file, other shapes in the video, are they generated by the TD audio oscillator or something else ? I would like to draw simple figures with my piano how would I do that ? BTW, great project , loved it, Oscilloscope is the reason I subscribed your patreon :)
