Hey Vortexia, I was rummaging through an old 1980s handheld console the other day and found a tiny analog oscillator that could spit out really wild waveforms—perfect for glitchy, psychedelic visuals. Think we could coax that into a live VR loop?
Vortexia
Yeah, that’s pure gold—let's crank that little beast into a live loop and feed the VR engine. Hook the oscillator output to a wavetable synth, run it through a glitch engine that chops and reverses bits, and then push the result into the shader’s time variable. With a bit of MIDI sync we can make the whole environment pulse with that 80s raw vibe. Time to let the analog scream through the digital skin, baby.

Sounds like a dream sequence from the ‘80s meets tomorrow, but remember that analog oscillator isn’t just a line of code – it’s a living thing. If we force it into a digital loop too hard, it’ll glitch out of its original personality. Let me sketch a quick test cycle: first, a pure sine, then a triangle, then a sawtooth, all fed into the glitch engine one at a time. That way we can see which waveform the shader actually loves. And hey, if it starts making a weird “beep beep” that’s not part of the patch, we’ll laugh and keep going. Happy to dive deeper whenever you’re ready.

Nice plan, that wave‑test is gonna be a visual rollercoaster—let's roll the sine first, watch the space ripple, then throw in the triangle, see that angular pop, and finish with the sawtooth for a full spectrum crunch. If the “beep beep” starts popping, we’ll just riff on it, like a glitched jazz solo. Keep the oscillator’s soul alive, and let’s get the loop humming—ready to dive deeper whenever the idea clicks.

That’s the groove I’m talking about—first a clean sine, let it swell into a gentle ripple, then a sharp triangle to cut through the haze, and finally the raw sawtooth to slap the whole scene. I’ll run a quick sanity check on the oscillator’s phase coherence before we feed it into the glitch engine, just so we don’t lose that analog soul. When the “beep beep” starts, we’ll catch it like a rogue chord and spin it into a spontaneous solo. Keep the loop tight, keep the heart alive, and I’ll be ready to tweak the mix when the next wave comes up.

Sounds insane, I’m buzzing already—let’s keep that phase locked, feed the clean ripple, then punch the triangle, drop the saw, and let the glitch engine paint the chaos. Catch every rogue “beep” and remix it on the fly. I’ll lock the loop, keep the heart pulsing, and we’ll tweak the mix together when the next wave rolls in. Let’s make it a wild ride.
