Fun with superscopes
Attached are a couple of superscope elements to try incorporating into a preset.
The first one "beatchasing" draws a small scope ring. On each beat, a new "target center" is chosen randomly and the ring's center moves toward that target exponentially.
The second one "rubberbandman" uses the same chasing mechanism, but instead of a ring center, line scope endpoints chase around on the beat. One line is drawn for each channel.
Both use a rainbow color cycling mechanism.
If you remove the color cycling mechanism, "rubberbandman" uses no trig functions-- only arithmetic, so it's fast.
Read the comments for details on how they work and how to customize.
