Description

This device allows the user to create midi notes for a shepard tone, being a MIDI effect, the user then can choose to which sound will be applied. This could be any instrument either from ableton stock or external.

The parameters that the user can modify are:

- Starting and ending notes, so it acts as a range. In several tests I found that the best results are achieved with larger ranges (full range goes from 0 to 128)

- Note Lenght (best results are around 100)

- Sample Rate (the higher the sample rate the slower the rise or fall will be)

- Number of channels (best results with more channels, recommended 8 or more)

- Speed of rise or fall depending if its a positive or negative number respectively
