The audioscope is a WebTV-only code which produces an on-screen "equalizer" that graphically displays any sound coming through your terminal (except TV sound in the WebPIP on the Plus; with PIP open, audioscopes go flat).

Note: As of the November 1999 serverside upgrade, audioscopes work only on webpages, no longer in e-mail.

Basic

Here's the most basic audioscope:

And here's the code:

<audioscope>

Attributes

width
You can set width with either a number of pixels or a percentage of screen width:

The code:

<audioscope width=300>

height
Height is set in number of pixels:

The code:

<audioscope height=30 width=400>

bgcolor
The bgcolor attribute lets you make the background of the audioscope a different color:

The code:

<audioscope height=60 width=200 bgcolor=blue>

rightoffset and leftoffset
rightoffset and leftoffset allow you to separate the right and left channels graphically, usually you set them to a positive and negative number of the same value:

The code:

<audioscope height=60 width=200 bgcolor=blue rightoffset=8 leftoffset=-8>

rightcolor and leftcolor
rightcolor and leftcolor let you choose the color of the graphical display of the right and left audio channels:

The code:

<audioscope height=60 width=200 bgcolor=191919 rightoffset=8 leftoffset=-8 rightcolor=red leftcolor=white>

gain
gain allows you to set the amount of vertical response to music volume in the audioscope:

The code:

<audioscope height=60 width=200 bgcolor=191919 rightoffset=8 leftoffset=-8 rightcolor=red leftcolor=white gain=8>

A gain of zero makes a different effect:

Negative gain does something else (-70 is used in this example):

And a gain of 10000 makes for another effect:

maxlevel
maxlevel displays a floating horizontal bar indicating the maximum volume over time:

The code:

<audioscope height=60 width=200 bgcolor=191919 rightoffset=8 leftoffset=-8 rightcolor=red leftcolor=white maxlevel=true>

border
You can make a border around the audioscope (in fact it comes with a very narrow border built in):

The code:

<audioscope height=60 width=200 bgcolor=191919 rightoffset=8 leftoffset=-8 rightcolor=red leftcolor=white border=10>

In Closing

Here ya go:

The code:

<audioscope height=300 width=100 bgcolor=100000 rightcolor=gold leftcolor=orange gain=-70 border=5>

Have fun!
