OSCILLOSCOOP
Available on: Mac
With OscilloScoop you make real musical grooves by gliding your fingertips over spinning crowns, then sequence them into a real-time performance with a few taps. As effortless as a toy, OscilloScoop gives you the same tools pro DJs and electronic musicians use to create intricate grooves—but with an intuitive interface inspired by video games and animation.
OscilloScoop features continuous tone melody; 16- and 32-beat quantizing; low-pass filter; volume control; selection of loopable beats in techno, hip hop, electro, and house; tempo control from 60 to 140 beats per minute; in-app purchase of additional beat sets; preset saves for live performance; and fine-grain editing when you tilt into landscape.
OscilloScoop was designed by Lukas Girling, a creator of interactive musical interfaces who has worked with world-renowned musicians and music technologists including Laurie Anderson and Max Mathews. The app was created in collaboration with interactive artist and programmer Scott Snibbe, author of the bestselling apps Bubble Harp and Gravilux; and Graham McDermott, noted video game and app developer.

OSCILLOSCOOP FOR MAC
OSCILLOSCOOP FOR LEAP MOTION
OscilloScoop for Leap Motion allows you to make musical groves by sculpting spinning crowns with your hands. Created by designer Lukas Girling and produced by Ahna Girshick, the app mashes up turntables, video games, and electronic music into a real-time audiovisual performance.
With fingers pointed directly at the screen, people sculpt spinning 'crowns'—one for tone and one for a digital audio filter. People can also open up their hands and their fingertips directly draw waveforms for the sounds to follow.
