Here is a quick rundown of one way to create a Shepard's Tone style effect using Ableton Live and Operator.

This isn't the perfect way to create a Shepard's Tone, but it gives a good rundown of the type of process involved in creating such an effect using a sequencer!

The perfect way would be to use the free Shepard plug in from mda...

nice video !

nice video, thanks

did anyone email about the easy octave jump yet?

Shoot! I wished I hadn't watched that It was very informative. I loved the shepherds tone plugin I used to have. Now that I know the trick I can see through the illusion of it.

I'm necrobumping this because, well, it's just so fucking cool and simple.

Props to COSM for this.

very cool and all, but can anyone direct me to any known tracks that use this?

There's heaaaaps these days, however this one seems to be the classic. First one I ever heard, tore the dancefloor a new one.

heyoka's "gate code" album has a ton - here's one that has them throughout the whole song. perhaps he overused them a bit though- what do y'all think?
