XY Lissajous oscilloscope visualizer for VCV Rack
Patch two audio or CV signals into X and Y and watch them draw Lissajous figures in real time. Color, scale, persistence and rotation are all CV-controllable — each with an attenuverter and an offset knob. A CLIP switch keeps the beam inside the display, or lets it bleed outside for an overscan look.
- Same oscillator into X and Y with a phase offset → classic Lissajous figures
- LFO on HUE → slowly cycling colors
- High AFTERGLOW → long glowing trails, great for slow or ambient signals
Requires VCV Rack 2 and its SDK.
