Hello

Here is my first M4L Device which i will share with you.

M4L Oscilloscope - Analyze and Visualize Audio Signals



Use the devices after Instruments/Audiosignals etc. or put it in the Master Channel.
You need an Audiosignal source like a Synthesizer, Sampler,etc.


Oscilloscope Features:

• XY Oscilloscope
• Separate Window (custom size)
• Changeable Drawmodes and other features
• Ability to change the Color of all Visuals
• Input Trim
• Custom options
• Preset Bank
• Supports HW Rendering and Anti-Aliasing

System Info:
Created in Ableton Live Suit 9.6.1 and M4L 7.2.3

Komplete ReWorked, Better Quality, more Features...

I just came

You are amazing! Thank you for the sweet oscilloscope

Supercool. Awesome. Unicorns. Magic.

thx

i got some emails with questions how to use the m4l oscilloscope.

here is one:

Hey - really like the M4L Oscilloscope! I cannot seem to get anywhere close to the cool patterns shown on the sample images page. Is there a help or tutorial somewhere that covers the various combinations of settings?

answer:

Hello,

thx, you mean the „Lissajous Figures“, right?

i made it with an vst/au plugin synth: called Sylenth1 (popular easy to use Synth with easy to use panning, volume etc. for each Oscillator)
you could made such waveforms with any synths (plugins or hardware) or tone/waveform generator.

info and steps to get there:

Oscilloscope = Oscilloscope
Oscillator = Oscillator (Osc)
some basic of synthesis (how to use a synth)
you must know that you need a stereo signal - Left = X and Right = Y Axis*
volume of both = the size

example: make a circle in ableton

1.) use a synthesizer for this (like sylenth1, operator, massive… any synth with min. 3 oscillators will do the job)
2.) put the m4l oscilloscope after the synth/rack or master channel. (if use audio fx after the synth)

Synth settings: init/reset preset

3.) Osc1 on the left channel use a sine wave panned full to left
4.) Osc2 on the right channel use a sine wave with 90° phase shift panned full to right (phase depends on your synth, example: in ableton operator 25%)
5.) play a note (example C2) - now you have a circle showing up in the oscilloscope

make more advanced figures:

6.) play 2 notes at the same time (example C2 and C3) - now you have more circles/figures showing up in the oscilloscope
7.) mess around with the oscilloscope settings (color, draw modes (points and lines, lines_strip work great)
8.) try other waveforms on your synth to get other figures
9.) try other note combinations (use only 2 at the same time for the beginning)

* to make a „Z“ axis (to draw 3D on Figures a 2D Oscilloscope) for example use a 3rd sine wave

example:

on the synth:
X Axis - Oscillator 1: sine wave panned full to left
Y Axis - Oscillator 2: sine wave with 90° phase shift panned full to right
Z Axis - Oscillator 3: sine wave to center (mono)

now you have something like a 3 channel audio signal: (a stereo channel in real)
1. X = Left
2. Y = right
3. Z = center

10.) moving effects - use modulation for this (example: modulate the panning of the Z Axis - Oscillator 3)
11.) try to modulate what you want till you find something interesting, you may use lfo for this...

there is much, much more you will discover if you play around with the synth.
(try other pitches/tunings/detunes/unison of the used Oscillators etc. of the synth…)


please excuse my bad english


hope this helps

greetings

Hello ,

i have try the new version , and it crasch imediatly . i hope you could help me , i really would like to use it .

i'am using live 9.6.1 suite , Under Windows 10 (if it can help i could post the crash repport some where if it can help to find out the problem .

just tell me ?

hello kolta,

the new fixed version is online now. please try the new one.

hi kolta,

is the device working now on your setup?
i am on mac osx, so i have not testet it in win os.

greetings from austria

Hello ,
so i tried yesterday to launch it , sadly it still crash .
it looks to start launching and then abort automatically .

thank you to care , i would really be happy to try and use it , so still very interested even if i have to wait

kolta

edith : ok now it works ! sorry my bad , but usualy i do test some amxd files by double click on it as it is on my desktop and it does open live and start; this way doesn't work witn osciloscope

but if i first launch live and put it in an Audio slot then it work .

so IT WORK NOW ON WINDOWS 10 !!

and thank you again ! have a nice week end

hi,

thx for the info, i will put in my bug list.

have fun with the device
