Shoutout to the creator, Jerobean Fenderson: https://www.youtube.com/c/jerobeamfenderson1

Yes, thank you! Also I found the song right at the end of the gif here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B5ftW9GJff8

And Smarter Everyday did a video with Jerobeam Fenderson as well! The work that went into the custom software is mindblowing and beautiful.

I did not know this! Awesome!

man's name is literally JeroBEAM

he was born for this

This guy is a fucken wizard. Planets (video featured in gif) slaps, followed by Spirals and Shrooms.

And the source for this Video is Techmoan on YouTube.

The last song is daft punk copy

copy

A cover. That's what it's called: a cover version. The creator gives full credit to Daft Punk.

"Copying" would be just making a similar song without acknowledging where it's from.

You mean robot rock?

Or release the Beast by Breakwater

Aphex Twin rising

we have an oscilloscope and its a pretty cool machine. would be awesome to try to hook it up to show that music but it seems doing that is more conplicated than thought

There's a reason you couldn't finish that sentence. Fuckin do it.

Thinking that's an Australianism but...

That's probably true but

... and now they've changed it to "thought" (attempting "though" perhaps??) and it makes no sense at all any more. Unless thought is somehow especially complicated? I'm stumped. Could still be Australian mind - looking more likely than ever in fact.

Yeah maybe it's meant to be 'more complicated than (initially) thought'. I guess we'll never know but.

You could try to ask the people on r/oscilloscopemusic for help

Shouldn't be too hard, just need a 3.5mm jack that exposes the left and right channels which you would hook up to the scope channels and set to XY mode. Then tweak the time and space settings to whatever the OG dev used.

Making the music on the other hand... Thats the real challenge.

I don't understand oscilloscopes and sound, apparently.

You probably do. Everyone here talking about making music on an oscilloscope certainly doesn’t.

Making music for an oscilloscope, sure.

r/oscilloscopemusic is a subreddit for anyone interested in this, I was having problems myself setting it up but the people there are pretty friendly and helpful

He’s got the bleeps, the jeeps, and the creeps.

I Lost the sweep lost the bleeps and I got the creeps.

That's not all he loss.😒

Sir the Radar appear to be Jammed!

The what, the what, and the what??

Still not better to cbat

That song fucking sucks

My favorite bird song ever

Happy NES noises.

You don't really make anything on oscilloscopes. It's more just a visualization of the waveforms. They're useful tools in analog work flow definitely. VCV rack has some good ones.

wow

This is like a feedback loop on my synesthesia. Strangely calming.

That intro would be a blessing for Dubstep producers who love amazing sound design.

Reminds me of Crystal Castle, obviously techno as well.

This is awesome!

This is how people used to make music with machines:

Respectfully, no it’s not - you can’t make music with an oscilloscope. It’s a visual tool, ~~and the video shown isn’t even an actual oscilloscope either~~, albeit a very cool and creative video. (That’s what an oscilloscope looks like, but those waveforms are rendered in some modeling program and superimposed on the screen). People DID make music with analog synths though, although it sounded nothing like this.

edit: They aren't renders, they're translations of sections of waveforms, and are displayed on different kinds of oscilloscopes. Ie, they are distorted pieces of actual real-time waveforms that are very cleverly translated to make pictures, but are not themselves any real waveform.

You're underestimating the effort this guy has put into his music. He didn't make it on a scope, but he absolutely crafted those waveforms for an oscilloscope. Those are actual waveforms, not just arbitrary renderings.

Gotcha! That's crazy, I assumed they were renders because they're quite literally not waveforms. As it turns out, they are an amalgamation of two waveform inputs, sometimes which are identical. There is no waveform that looks like a mushroom (or even a circle) but you can create this things with simple translations of pieces of waveforms. I know this is a little pedantic, but I think it's a very important difference. That said, that's really quite amazing. Very cool channel.

Yeah... It seems that, at some point in the 2000's, the mainstream music industry collectively forgot how to do this.

/r/lewronggeneration

probably because it's a novelty that sounds like shit

Sooooo Deadmau5.....got it! 👍

I'd say more like Daft Punk.

Specifically Daft Punk - Robot Rock

Fitting song for this

I was shocked to learn just how many Daft Punk songs are covers like this.

I think this is considered a "sample" rather than a cover. A sample takes a part of a song and reuses it, whereas a cover usually reuses no part of the original song but the lyrics, and sometimes even switches the melody (For Example: R. Kelly - "Ignition (Remix)" vs. Robyn Adele Anderson's - "Ignition (Remix)")

Like Kanye West - "Stronger" samples Daft Punk's - "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger", which also samples Edwin Birdsong's - "Cola Bottle Baby"

But Whitney Houston - "I Will Always Love You" is a cover of Dolly Parton's - "I Will Always Love You"

Then you have remixes, like Marvin Gaye and Kygo's - "Sexual Healing" from Marvin Gaye's - "Sexual Healing" which is more than a sample because it features the entire song (though some remixes chop lyrics or add in a few generic background words like "Yeah!" Or "Ok").

The songs that blur the lines for me are songs like Bus Stop and Carl Douglas - "Kung Fu Fighting" which was originally just Carl Douglas. It feels like too much was used to call it a sample and not enough of the original was used to call it a remix, especially for how much was added. And you have recent songs like David Guetta and Bebe Rexha - "I'm Good (Blue)" which uses so much of the sound of Eiffel 65's - "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" but seems to have recreated it entirely without sampling any of the original audio and they changed all the lyrics. This doesn't seem to be a cover, a sample, or a remix.

Very well said, and fantastic examples! I tip my hat to you.

P sure that someone making music draw cool shapes on a CRT isnt sampling the song from the 80s

Different sounds put together to create music.

Just like when i play my piano i‘m basically just making hammers strike strings to create sound. Yet it‘s widely accepted that this is music.

It has an identifiable beat, melody, and verse. It is unequivocally music.

The man only knows lawns

Did you watch more than 5 seconds of the video?

Time to sample some tv static and prove this chuckle fuck wrong

daft punk isn't music? robot rock is my jam but i guess i'll stop listening to it since its not even music apparently

It got really good at 1:20

Sounds like Robot Rock by Daft Punk

thank you for introducing me to this stuff!

Damn cool. Is that a specific VST plugin?

It's handmade and choreographed.

Omg love this

I don't enjoy it, but I do love it.

The bass sounds like a robot literally saying "bow bow bow" lol I love it

Me enjoying the new Deaths Dynamic Shroud record.

Well now I know where video game sounds were first inspired from lol or at least close enough

Ah yes, the watchdogs soundtrack

Lookmumnocomputer intensifies...

Lol I was in a clothing store recently & a worker asked me if I wanted to select a song to play in the shop & I was just like “eh, no. U people don’t want to hear what I listen to.”

This is amazing ✨✨

Sound like Luigi’s mansion dubstep

I feel like I've just been programmed.
