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.

  • Did you use any risset rhythms in this? Its hard to tell haha

    • 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.

  • wew u forgot dis track

  • awesome 303 work man

  • 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. :)
