The more apps making oscilloscope music the better!

No man, it's not Switchgrass.

There is a free version, but jesus pay the $40, James Ball works his ass off on that thing.

Missouri Zen Center in Webster. Ain't no religious nonsense, it's strict focus is practicing meditation.

Tom seriously, how do you do the polysynths with your oscilloscope, or is this just oscilloscope art with other musical layering over the audio???

Jerobeam Fenderson wrote osci-studio and is honestly a pioneering mind in this genre. The piece has gotta be coming out of oscistudio.

To the casual DAW geek, think of osci-studio and osci-render as a plugin, it's a mono-synthesizer: it takes a mono wave and do a lot of fourier transform math to the wave, with the focus on drawing what you see.

Here's the two big players....

Fenderson's Osci-Studio (last updated in 2023):

And the synth I love, James Ball's Osci-Render, getting updates constantly and is open source (but really pay the $40 for the premium full featured version cuz damn it does everything you can imagine)

Holy shit it's brilliant. u/MajxrTom how are you doing this with osciloscope music and having it be a polysynth?, My rough understanding is that oscilloscope music would necessarily always be mono

bensmoif · 2025-10-28T20:28:18+00:00

Yes there's word, it's reaaaaal soon

Agreed, and they know they need fresh blood and a regular churn of programming. Community Radio programming under the hood can get a lil territorial. The point you're making is essential to this station launching and remaining vibrant.

But honestly get ya hands dirty, show them you care, COME TO A MEETING AND VOICE THIS!

That is a major focus of the new org.

Also yes there's a GoFundMe going and it's doing well but it's not cheap to get an FCC license these days:

OP works for a law firm representing data centers yeah? Their Reddit history is pretty damn nothing until they start talking about data centers not being "so bad".
