Michael Wright Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I've been looking at these a bit. There are a few free ones out there, and the Blue cat can be demo'd. https://www.bluecataudio.com/Products/Product_OscilloscopeMulti/ "I cried when I wrote this song Sue me if I play too long" Walter Becker Donald Fagan 1977 Deacon Blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RABid Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 In sound design it can be interesting and informative to see the wave. This post edited for speling. My Sweetwater Gear Exchange Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardware Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Theyre the best way to check Oscillator smearing when going from 44.1k to 96k. I run a suite of DSP Tools that include voltage, spectrograph, OscScope, etc. Run a discrete Audio analog synth through an instance, then your softsynth or samples through. No surprise that hardware has no smear. 44.1 is most noticeable on Saw Up/Down as the edges can be seen with smearing. The difference in sound quality to hardware is obvious. Boosting to 96k the signal looks better on the Scopes but you cant hear the quality until you start stacking waveforms and making a preset. Then the 44.1/96k is noticeable. In a mix it doesnt stand out as much. But if youre using Scopes and youre trying to get the biggest sound for your live rig, these are helpful. Especially if you use meters for patch and solo leveling. Peak and RMS Calibrations, Scopes all very useful tools. You want to see big bright waveforms run an SE-02 into one. This is the ballsiest Oscillators. Like an old CAT synth. Magnus C350 + FMR RNP + Realistic Unisphere Mic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

analogika Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 The first half of that is just aligning waveforms. Hes using the oscilloscope to overlay zoomed-in waveforms. Being able to overlay the signals might be a slight advantage over just positioning the playback head at a transient and aligning the other tracks to that, but its not a feature of oscilloscopes per se. (Also, I find the guys delivery insufferable. I apologise if I missed relevant content by zipping through that video.)
