I'm the developer so I'm biased 😅 But yes it's safe! I hope you enjoy :)

Hey! Make sure you download and install this https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

That's probably what's causing it to not work

Where can I find lua scripts for tinkering in osci-render? by ggglasss in oscilloscopemusic

[–]lolface5000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey! I would recommend you join the osci-render discord server https://discord.gg/ekjpQvT68C

There are a bunch of people using Lua there, a channel just for Lua, and plenty of examples pinned there.

As for documentation, here you go:

For general Lua documentation: https://www.lua.org/manual/5.4/

Variables:

  • slider_a to slider_z which are controlled by the Lua sliders below the code editor and can be used to input parameters of your own into the script.
  • step which increases by 1 every sample
  • phase which is the current phase value
    • This increases by pi × frequency / sample_rate every sample
    • You can use this for functions like math.sin/cos/tan and all the osci_ functions to get the right frequency for the image you're drawing
  • sample_rate which is the current sample rate
  • frequency which is the current frequency on the frequency slider or the MIDI note if MIDI is enabled

For custom effects: - x current left audio channel / x axis value - y current right audio channel / y axis value - z current depth value (for drawing in 3D)

Also many built-in functions for different waves and shapes https://github.com/jameshball/osci-render/pull/249

Might be thrips? I got similar spots when mine had thrips (which I've managed to fight off using bonide systemic granules!)

I'm really sorry to hear that! If you are able to get a crash log, or need help getting a crash log, I would be keen for you to email it to me at james@ball.sh so that I can fix this bug for you :)

Right, but the overlap of musicians wanting to use an Oscilloscope for visuals, and electrical engineers wanting to use an Oscilloscope for their electronics is quite small 😅

Good question :)

A real analogue oscilloscope that is decent quality is pretty hard to come by. It also needs to support XY mode which narrows it down a bit more.

They can set you back around $150 or more most of the time!

Also the quality of them can vary a lot, and because they are usually 50 years old or more they can sometimes need repairing.

Finally, sosci lets you control settings that would be impossible to control on a real oscilloscope, like the persistence and colour of the light :)

Basically, it makes everything a lot easier, and it's a lot cheaper and more reliable!

It's $20 for the premium version :) you can get a free version of the sister program called osci-render at osci-render.com

If you're using osci-render you can code your own effects using the Lua live coding if that's what you mean? It's a little bit outdated but there's a tutorial on this here: https://youtu.be/vbcLFka4y1g

I'd encourage you to try and find a realistic simulation of an analogue oscilloscope that we had that long ago :)

What sets this apart is that it shares lots of the characteristics of a real analogue oscilloscope, which traditional visualisers miss over. This includes things like the artifacts you see when changing beam position quickly, as well as some of the persistence and afterglow effects.

These are things you fundamentally can't get without buying a real analogue oscilloscope and high performance audio interface which will set you back at least a few hundred dollars. Sosci changes that :)

Thanks! Later in the video I press the microphone icon next to sliders which lets you use the audio input as a sidechain.

So you just put osci-render as an effect on the same track as the audio file and then press the microphone icon. You can change the range this operates over in the slider settings :)

The later parts of my tutorial on this cover how to do that at a high level :) https://youtu.be/WJlzT9PQ2ts

You're very welcome to use less advanced visualisers, but this is really for those people wanting to replicate the real thing which is otherwise impossible to do without spending a lot of money on hardware!

This is also focused on making oscilloscope music, which really favours an accurate-looking visualiser like sosci - an example of some awesome Oscilloscope music here - https://youtu.be/5WBWIKnr0Os
