Kutiman got me here too. I saw "game boy and moog" in the description of the credits and realised I had to see what the hell that was all about. Brilliant! (:-D
the gameboy can generate a few different waveforms. It has 2 pulsewave generators, which can output squarewaves, but they don't have to be "square," they can be different widths.
I'm not sure why they don't look square on the oscilloscope. I am boosting the signal a bit with an overdrive pedal, but not distorting it. Also, this is an old oscilloscope, i have no idea if it's calibrated properly. I do know that it's very rare to see a "true" square-shaped wave generated from hardware...
Looks like you got some lower harmonic phasing somewhere in your system (probably in that OD pedal) What can happen is that manufacturers can put an all-pass filter in the pedal which causes the lower frequencies to lag behind the higher ones by about 180deg. The ear can't hear this lag because it is so small, however it sounds good for a rather complicated reasons when done before being driven to distortion. That wave on the scope looks exactly like a square wave with that effect on it.
Yeah, I think you are doing it right. I get similar results whenever I run my Micromoog through my Hewlett-Packard oscilloscope. Mine is old also. In fact, it has tubes.
That Vid is most exciting for Educating in Waveform-Education :)
Thanks a lot for Uploading tis Vid

Audacity is amazing, get it, try it. This video visually shows why and how some sounds "feel" good to the ears, its really awesome.

At 2:12 it sounds a bit C64 ish. But at 2:55 that was some awesome stuff! :D

These sharp fast rise/ long duty cycle waveforms are killers to HIFI speakers.

1:48 sounds just like a small turboprop plane taking off :)

So, can you put any sound through an oscilloscope to see the waveform like this?
buckheadhobo 2 years ago
Yes. But an easier way is to use software, like audacity.

Oh, cool.
Does Audacity look as cool as this though?

...and btw everyone, this is what REAL AUDIO looks like... when they say square wave etc its just a generalization!

gameboy is a square wave isnt it?
