To make a polygonal spirals/torus using resonance and modulation for 2D perspectives/orthogonal projections.
An analog vectorscope simply vibrates a beam of light with sound frequencies and geometric patterns form. Digital Vectorscopes can simulate the geometric matrix of sound through parametric equations, forming the exact type of harmonic motions expressed by the sound waves as seen when we vibrate a beam of light with an analog vectorscope.
Mathematics can perfectly describe the geometry of sound frequencies and its resonance.
A vectorscope is a special type of oscilloscope used in both audio and video applications. Whereas an oscilloscope or waveform monitor normally displays a plot of signal vs. time, a vectorscope displays an X-Y plot of two signals, which can reveal details about the relationship between these two signals. Vectorscopes are highly similar in operation to oscilloscopes operated in X-Y mode; however those used in video applications have specialized graticules, and accept standard television or video signals as input (demodulating and demultiplexing the two components to be analyzed internally).
Searching for a bit of calm today I decided to break out my first ever generative oscilloscope music patch, which I always find peaceful and meditative. You are hearing and seeing pure harmonics faded in and out over a fundamental sine wave (the circle), with slight microtonal pitch variations to animate the spirals. Simple but beautiful - the pure wave physics of the natural world made tangible. Working on some Max for Live scope plug ins in this vein, keep an eye out!
