Vectorscope to Oscilloscope plugin


#1

Sorry for copying it from Reddit, there are no replies, so I decided to post it here too:

Hi, I have an idea, or maybe it already exists, don’t know. So I’m looking for a processing plugin that can analyze the root frequency and plot a waveform single cycle in XY-format. So that’s basically to use a Vectorscope as a self adjustable oscilloscope. Have you seen something like this? The basic idea is to watch a waveform while tweaking a synth, similar to Korg instruments, but on bigger screen. If you know how to do this in Pd or Max/MSP, please share.

I have created a Max4Live device that works as an XY monitoring device. It DOES NOT output signals to a Helios LaserDAC, but it does create a pretty nice visual monitor for signals and definitely goes fullscreen. It also has Syphon output on MacOS if you want to forward it on to some other Syphon capable application.

The device works on MacOS and Windows. It was built in Max 8.6.5 and Live 11.3
I recommend having the latest version of Max installed instead of using the “Bundled version” of Max that comes with Ableton Suite… they seem to sometimes be out of sync in their releases.
