SCOPE

An XY oscilloscope trace with GPU phosphor persistence: each axis reads a manual value, live audio, or one of two independent internal generators, and the result accumulates and decays like a real scope tube rather than redrawing from a sample ring.

Parameter Control Notes
X Source / Y Source Selector Manual, Audio L, Audio R, Generator A, or Generator B, independently per axis.
X / Y Trough Manual axis value; only live when its Source is Manual.
X Scale / Y Scale Trough Replaces X / Y for an axis whose Source is Audio or Generator. Gain on that axis’s raw bipolar signal, 0 to 2, default 1. Corrects trace geometry on a non-square canvas, since the raw signal otherwise maps 1:1 to screen space with no gain.
Blend / Mix Selector, Trough Same blend-mode family every other module uses (Replace, Add, etc.) plus a 0-1 Mix amount, applied to the composited trace+backdrop result.
Persistence Trough Per-second exponential decay of the phosphor trace.
Brightness / Width Trough Line width in line mode; also sizes points when Points Only is on.
Points Only Rocker Renders each frame’s beam position as a discrete point-glow instead of a connected line between positions.
Detail Trough Beam segments drawn per frame; hidden (and has no effect) when both axes are Manual.
Generator A / Generator B Selector, Trough Wave (Sine, Square, Sawtooth, Triangle, and the same 6 noise waves LFO offers), Freq, Phase, Amp, plus Seed/Harmonics/Spread/Gain/Density for the noise waves.
Reset Generators Button Zeroes Generator A/B’s phase accumulators back in lock-step and clears the phosphor trail. Only shown when Generator A or B drives an axis: independent modulation of Gen A/B Freq drifts their phases apart over time, skewing the default clean-circle Lissajous shape, and this snaps it back.

Insert FX on SCOPE applies to the full composited result, backdrop and phosphor trace together, not the trace alone. See Insert FX Chains.

SCOPE’s Sends are send-only: it can feed a bus but has no Source field to read one back, unlike INSERT and FEEDBACK. See AUX Sends and Buses.
