Shepard tones

[IAmNinjaMan2000]

this one dont work. i dont get the trippy effect.

[deckoland]

shame the dynamics dont help blend the last note very well with the beggining..cool  though

[DrQwerty487]

I finally understand how this works!

[livedandletdie]

I believe you could use up to 2 octaves to this too.

[gangstalumberjack]

vsauce

[jeenyus720]

its so god damn frustrating!

[felolis]

@jeenyus720 your comment made me lol

[KittyPawSlap]

@jeenyus720 Not really, its just one octave drop recovering for another to make it sound like it keeps goin higher and higher!

[BlueOnRS]

Works for me lol.

[guyboy625]

Too bad I keep hearing the new bass coming in.

[HM9408K1LL3R]

This is a scale based on the Shepard tone, not the tone itself.

[KingOfRoll]

I can hear the change clearly every four or five tones...it doesn't so much drop down in pitch as the lower of the two pitches becomes dominant.

[reapsoul964]

Wow, I barely heard it... nice.

[toranamunter]

It doesn't sound continually rising to me at all. I guess my brain is just a lot more advanced than others. Hopefully I can remain hidden from the government.

[iD3LTA220]

@toranamunter That's because it is slowed down the an extent

[DarkMedievalTimes1]

interesting, it's like it's playing the same scale over and over but what we're hearing is the repetition of the harmonic series' of each note as it goes up each octave producing a psychoacoustical illusion of the first scale being repeated but our brains focusing on the fundamental harmonic of each note even though it's actually missing, if I'm correct...

[spikew10]

How do you generate this on audacity?

[spikew10]

Now I understand the wikipedia article

[ProjectBerklee]

its goes down back at around 0:17 .

[piepeep90]

Somewhere in between 11.0 and 13.0 it gets slightly lower to restart the loop.

[rinkavideos64]

i hear it :P

[Lrdvltr]

I'm afraid one of these is going to be a screamer.

[MargaretDuan]

@Lrdvltr man you have watched too many scary clips on youtube...=D

[Buhzie15]

@Lrdvltr holy shit me too

[corin12355]

@Lrdvltr I SO DAMNED AGREE!

[lxm1117]

if listen carefully you can actually detect the starting tone of each loop, when the new low frequency harmonic been added in ( rather than when the high harmonic ends)~

[dorbe924]

Yes, the harmonic is there, so if you listen carefully you can hear it.

If you don't know its coming, it is awfully hard to tell it's there, however.
