Pump this into your scope in X-Y mode, and see the beauty:

Thanks for posting the video.

The website in the attached link is also very interesting.
Perturb and observe.

That's really awesome - I prefer Atom Delta's oscillofun as a piece of music though.

Anyone know of any others?

So cool!
From the youtube page:
AUDIO
In this part only sine waves (discrete frequencies) were used. Using the harmonic series, i.e. integral multiples of the fundamental frequency, an unlimited variety of sound spectra can be created (additive synthesis). To produce these waveforms the open-source audio programming software Pure Data was used.


Which leads here: http://puredata.info/

Sigh. Another fascinating thing that would be great to spend days looking into. If I had the time.

Actually, with a bit more software layering, it would be possible to make the audio track more musical. Since for any given X-Y pattern it doesn't matter what frequency the waveform is repeating at, all that matters are the X-Y relative phases of its components.

A while ago I had two sig gens, a HP 8640B and 3325A, set up next to an XY monitor. It's great fun producing very complex patterns with various forms of modulations of the generators. I have another 3325A, but broken. When I get a round tuit, it would be fun to lock the two 3325s together and make some more patterns. But that video blows away such simple play.

You know, some people would have continued that sentence a few more words, like "because of ...."

It was merely to let people know not to expect an answer from the OP.
It's the third time this particular person has been banned. They must really like it here.
