That 'computer' on the left though is f****** expensive

Its an oscilloscope. You can get old, analog ones like that for like £50.

Really? It was a thrift shop purchase purely because I wanted to look at oscilloscope music

So you’re using it like a visualizer?

Pretty much.... some old amplifiers had vector-scopes on them but oscilloscopes are even better, and some talented people even made music specifically chosen to look good on an oscilloscope. I think I've put a link to the video somewhere in this thread...

This looks awesome! Can you tell me what the thing on the left is and what you use all of this for?

An old oscilloscope. It's used to look at electricity. The pic is from a still of a video I was making: https://youtu.be/7Mx4uqGn-xY

Is it just a raspberry pi?

Ok I'll bite - what DO you need it for? It looks like a great setup, btw

Checking email, fiddling with my calendar, very light github stuff, a bit of youtube. I am a simple creature.

The old super-8 editor is really cool! Do the front-button and rotary-knobs do anything? Could perhaps turn on/off, scroll and adjust volume. Could maybe use https://github.com/omriharel/deej to get that going?

The switch controls the power, but the dial does nothing at the moment.... linking it to a rotary encoder while keeping it linked to the original mechanism would be a good idea
