The point of the KORG display is to give visual feedback of audio signals on someone's modular synth without having to fuss with triggering, scaling, channels, and timebase. It's a very narrow problem space and it can be done with something compact and focused for the context in which it operates.
A 100MHz instrument scope like that HP is way overkill for such a purpose and will have an overwhelming number of controls and features. Worse, it will be easy to get it in a state where nothing is appearing and you have to fiddle with buttons to just see a waveform-- this is NOT something a musician wants, not ever, and especially not when live.
- trasz 4y agoWhat you are saying is true for many scopes, but there's another reason I've mentioned this particular one: you just press the "Auto" button. It's not only easier to use than some digital scopes, it's easier than analog ones. IIRC Auto even takes care of showing the right inputs.
