I've never seen it work successfully though. In a similar vein of misusing the interpretation of signals to produce cute effects, I offer this which I discovered last night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1ylMJwfLmM Now, there are a number of vector demos which run on oscilloscopes in X-Y mode, but that one is a bit more special than most in that it's not just some beam-drawing plus some random music, but a reasonable chiptune that can *also* be fed into a scope to do vector graphics. Non-compressed audio can be downloaded from here: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=58317 ... although I couldn't discern any real difference on my scope between that and the Vorbis-compressed audio in the Youtube video.
