Lissajous

Parametric Lissajous curve figures and XY oscilloscope patterns driven by audio

2D CanvasMediumBest for: Electronic, Synth, Experimental, Audio Engineering

Lissajous maps left-channel audio to the X axis and right-channel to the Y axis, producing the classic oscilloscope Lissajous figure. The frequency ratio between axes shifts with dominant FFT bands, creating continuously evolving geometric patterns that are as mathematically beautiful as they are audio-reactive.

Tips & Best Practices

  1. 1

    Classic mode with a 1:2 ratio creates the classic figure-eight Lissajous.

  2. 2

    Spirograph mode with high bloom is visually stunning for ambient music.

  3. 3

    Resonance mode locks to the dominant frequency for perfect harmonic shapes.
