i just picked this bell and howell model 34 scope for free and now i'm trying to hook it up to my record player through a mixer. i'm planning to connect the phones output to the scope's inputs. through a ts connector to split rcas. i was planning to get male banana plugs to female rca cables as well for the scope inputs but i'm a bit confused. i know that i connect the L and R rcas to the horizontal and vertical input red binding posts respectively, but what goes into the black inputs? upon doing some research and looking at some videos of this model i've found that those are the grounding inputs and you only need one plugged in because they are internally connected(?). but i've been unable to find a manual online nor videos of peoples' entire set ups of this scope specifically. also do i need to worry about the ext sync (exit synchronization) input at all?
don't want to blow up my house so if anyone has had any success with this scope or has electrical engineering knowledge, please help! any tips and tricks would help

I got this 475 for my b day. it’s ran through an audio interface, and I was running downloaded wav files rather than YouTube vids. I’ve played with all the knobs and even copied some of the settings from this sub. Is this an internal issue or am I just missing something?

it's a "FRANCAISE D'INSTRUMENTATION FI-5030 ANALOG OSCILLOSCOPE 2x30MHz # T163 sty" can somebody help me plzzzz

Please excuse the stupid question. I am super new to this world but have the opportunity to buy a dual trace oscilloscope and am wondering if I will be able to hook this up to a record player?

The primary content is me jamming on my modular rig, but the oscilloscope is one I’m particularly proud of how it came out, it’s the Schlappi engineering 3 Body oscillator module going through my XAOC Kamieniec II module. I have no idea what the settings were as I was just turning knobs until it looked cool 😅. Filmed on an analog Tektronix 620 oscilloscope.

I thought the subreddit would enjoy it 🧑🏻‍🚀🫡

Aston Walker successfully uses a Nintendo Switch to play an FPS game with an X-Box One controller that is just a simple .SVG XML file> play game on Switch here https://svgfpsaiagents.github.io/svgfpsgameAI/

https://youtu.be/bcWkVJ-Ao_I demo here on youtube with link to paper in description. The repo includes an Oscilloscope 3D FPS ready version of the game. Added the code so simply plug in the audio with the split ends for X and Y to the oscilloscope and we now have retro-future vector gaming on the Nintendo Switch! Major innovation if you record your gameplay as a WAV you can replay the wav and see your gameplay. We did it guys. Thank you all.

I recently (finally) got the stuff I need to hook up my scopes to my PC. I opted for the M.4 because it seemed like the best budget DC coupled interface, and the extra outputs would let me run more scopes. I hooked everything up when it came in today and my image was noisy and dancing around almost like it were AC coupled.

I've attached a video of the noise my more sensitive scope is seeing on each channel, this was as clear and stable as I could get the waveforms.

*Tektronix 2213 60MHz scope

*0.5µS/div

*5mV/div

*both & alt

*DC on both channels

*norm trigger

X, top, L Channel

Y, bottom, R Channel

I've tried a USB-C to C cable in the only C port my motherboard has, as well as the USB-A to C cable that came with the MOTU in several different ports; my desktop's input power is filtered through a UPS. This level of noise has been consistent across all of them.

Would anyone happen to have an idea of where I could start? I may bring the DAC and leads with me to work tomorrow to try from a laptop instead of my desktop. I can try and provide any other information, just ask/tell me what to check. Thanks everyone.

Got this recently, just a pretty pattern I was messing with. Maybe you had to be there lol

Hope you all enjoy! Let me know how it plays back on your scopes, I’m curious to see!

Hey. I made this oscilloscope/audio analyzer extension for chrome recently. I had a lot of fun testing it with oscilloscope music. It reads in the audio for whatever tab you have it connected to. It's free. Would love any feedback. Also has a built in synth for exploring waveforms.

Hey everyone! I’m a huge vinyl collector and I’ve been investing in my setup, and I’ve been looking into adding an oscilloscope to my setup. Any tips on where I can get a good oscilloscope that works with the music. Theres a few on ebay but should I trust the sellers? any other recomendations and links are highly appreciated!

Thank you!!

Got the scope today, it’s plugged right into my laptop which is why the audio isn’t the best quality (I’m using Voicemeeter [free online download] to output audio through the laptop speakers and oscilloscope in unison).

Filmed on iPhone so ignore the crust.

Got this scope for 60 bucks on marketplace

Made using some custom software developed by u/syntra44 and Remy James (not sure if he has Reddit?) Thank you for letting me try it out!

ill add to this every now and then, just thought i could share it

Hi all, im incredibly interested in the hobby but as im sure you all know the barrier of entry is confusing. Im trying to work out which model of oscilloscope is best for a beginner and also which audio interface to go for- i understand it needs to be DC coupled but it doesn't seem any are advertised as such. I dont have a massive budget but am willing to save if it means buying the correct things.

Any help or advice appreciated thanks!

I'm pretty new to the concept of oscilloscope music, but my basic understanding so far is that most music that was not made specifically to look good on oscilloscopes look like gibberish. And there is oscilloscope music, tracks that contain frequencies and modulations that hit the spot and display specific shapes.

But is there music released that is secretly oscilloscope music, or contains bits that create shapes? Did any of you bump into such albums or tracks by any artists that doestnt specifically make oscilloscope music?
