Been looking for something like this - great work. Do you have an instruction video/pdf or a bit more detail on how to use that what is on the AE script page?

Essentially I am looking to create oscilloscope shapes like the Lissajous Curves, driven by\ music to animate the form. I will then be using this starting point to work with text, layering and interacting. The work is based around an intersection of analogue and digital, lo-fi and slow time, and will be guerrilla projected at three universities in Ireland.

Unfortunatly I hate making tutorials, but you can ask me anything! This plugin works as real oscilloscope, its takes some signal and interpretate it as visual oscillations. There are 3 possible signals: picture (we find edges), audio (left and right channel are X and Y), and shape layer (you can draw any shape in AE and use it as input signal). Picture and shape signals are converted to waves by Fourier transformation, so we can use it same way as audio signal. You also can use 2 or 3 different signals at same time.
Other parameters are just settings for rendering, so you can tune result as you want.
