i'm not so good at scopes but i know some things

init

n=w;

perpoint:

x=i*2-1;y=v/2;

you get a osc simple (like the render/simple)
now if you want it to go randomly (by the beat)
up and down the window then do this

init

n=w;t=0;

perbeat

t=-1+rand(200)/100;

perpoint

x=i*2-1;y=t+v/2;

more than that i can't explain, coz then you have to
go in to more maths, and i'm not that good at explaining that

thanks
After I asked the question I did the one thing I should have done in the first place... looked for someone else that asked the same question... I believe I've got the idea, I'll post some presets soon.
Thanks for the time:up:

if you use n=w, then you run out of v returns if your screen width is too big. the maximum amount of returns for v is 579, so if your scope is just a scope, use n=579.
i is the position on the scope, so if you want to draw a line of dots, all you need to do is use x=i; y=0. v is the volume, so to show the volume, use y=v. you usually want to scale it by about 3.
That's really all you need to know for superscopes, if you want to do more complex things, learn the math.
