Absolutely. And if you insert your ear buds into your nose, you can smell the divine fragrances of the full frequency spectrum.

I can see & taste sound as well.

Other than that, I don't think it's particularly useful as a sound design tool. Not in the same way a frequency analyser can be. Artists like Cyclo and Jerobeam Fenderson have done some awesome stuff with oscilloscopes - well, lissajous phasescopes really - but other than such highly specialised creative use cases I'd say it's more of a technical tool.

Coincidentally, last month's One Synth Challenge used Spiral Generator which is designed to create patterns in a phasescope. Not sure how many entrants made a visual component though.

That sounds pretty hardcore, dig the video.

That's an odd choice of vocabulary. How'd you know I was listening to Richard Divine?

Watch this tutorial, see how he uses his oscilloscope to help prevent phase issues between his kick and his bass.

I only use one to check my pacemaker to see if its working...

Is an oscilloscope a necessary tool for serious sound design?
