Tried making a techno but ended up doing what I always do. This track focuses on Shepard tones, featuring a multi-octave main synth and a Shepard-Risset glissando pad. Cover is Ren-ai Roundabout with shitty cheesy effects. The "spokes" of the wheel are there because I used a sine function to set octave volumes for Shepard tones; evenly spaced spokes will have endpoints that average to the center of the circle, meaning that total amplitude remains constant as the Shepard tone is rotated.

I tried putting a track together with one but I cant figure out how to quite get the note spacing as the bpm speeds up.

No Risset rhythm, although I've been thinking of basing a track on it ever since Next came out with its bpm automation.

I always wanted to try a Shepard's tone with audiotool. Looks like someone beat me to it! This is a weird track! very 80's! Not a bad dance tune. :)
