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.
