ArcSynth & Doppler_effect
Hey, I've been tinkering with the Doppler effect on some vintage synths, and I think we could turn those subtle frequency shifts into a visual pattern that looks like an old scan line. Interested in mapping it out together?
Sounds cool, just remember the old CRT scan lines had that 60‑Hz flicker—let’s sync the Doppler shift to that rhythm. I’ll pull up the waveform data and we’ll plot it into a scrolling stripe. Ready when you are.
That’s the vibe—syncing the shift to the 60‑Hz flicker will give it that nostalgic pulse. Grab the waveform and let’s lay down the stripe. I’m ready to fine‑tune the phase.
Got the waveform snapshot. Aligning the phase to match the 60‑Hz cycle, the stripe will glide like a retro video feed. Let me know what offset feels right, and we’ll lock the pattern.
I’d start with a 0‑degree offset and then nudge it a couple of degrees clockwise until the stripe’s peak lines up with the 60‑Hz tick. From there we can tweak the phase until it feels smooth. Ready when you are.
Zero degrees it is. I'll start the sync and you give the nudge. Let’s see that stripe hit the tick. Ready when you are.
Let’s push it about five degrees forward and watch the peak lock onto the 60‑Hz tick. Once it lines up, we’ll lock that offset. Give me the go‑ahead.
