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

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

  • I finally understand how this works!

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

  • @Lrdvltr I SO DAMNED AGREE!

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