Modular Synth Basics #16: Waveforms on the Oscilloscope 

Haha! Thanks :)

Thank you! And yes, you should totally get into modular synths! ;-)

Hahaha, that's good to know ... I'll keep that accent then :-P

😂

Thank you very much :)

haha!

Thank you ^^

I would totally give you an A+ !

Thank you! Happy to hear that you like them! I'll do more in the future :)

Thanks :)

Happy to hear you like it! Enjoy your modular :)

StarmanDeluxe2001 It's an old Hameg scope. I just filmed it with a camera and the added contrast and some color changes in editing ;)

Oscilloscopes usually have BNC connectors for which you can find adapters. I use BNC-RCA adapters on the Oscilloscope side and then connect a 3.5mm mono jack to RCA cables to that and the Eurorack.

I see, thanks! One more question: how do you send the signal from a VCO both to the oscilloscope and the speaker, to see and hear the signal at the same time? Do you use a stackable cable or maybe a multiple module? Do you maybe need a buffered multiple so that the signal doesn't get too weak just because you branch off part of the signal? By the way, I was making fun of your accent in one of my comments few months ago. But after watching all of your videos, I kinda like it. I think, I'll start pronounce "synthesizer" with a "ü" now :D

+whiterottenrabbit it depends on the signal and how many copies you make, but I've never owned a buffered multiple and never had problems with passive ones. But you're right, you need a multiple or stackcable. I think I'll never get used to the "Sinth" pronunciation :D

I have one more question about oscilloscopes. I bought a cheap 15 Mhz analog oscilloscope. It works quite fine when displaying high frequencies, the picture is quite stable and comparable to what you show in your videos. But when I want to display some low bass signals, I have to adjust the time switch on the oscilloscope in such a manner that when displaying at least two or three wavelengths, the horizontal sweep becomes visible so that the picture starts to flicker and strains my eyes. I can adjust the time swith such that the picture becomes stable again, but then, the ocsilloscope only shows part of the full wavelength, so that I don't have a nice overview of the signal. So, my question is: with your Hameg oscilloscope, did you encounter any problems with monitoring low frequencies and if so, how did you overcome these issues? I hope, I made myself clear, although I am a noob and thus, I am probably confusing things. What I want to achieve is that the oscilloscope picture is always stable, without the horizontal sweep, regardless of the audio signal frequency. Maybe I need another analog oscilloscope? I am aware that a digital oscilloscope would display the signal without any flickering, bit then, I have an ugly digital display, whereas I love the type of displays on analog oscilloscopes! Only when they show a stable non-flickering picture, that is...

Enrique Martinez I just used a camera (Canon DSLR and GoPro) and did some color correction afterwards :)

+uncletomable eBay ;-P

+heinz schröder just ask the person on Instagram. It seems like any regular scope with an X & Y input though.
