Shepard tone - Wikipedia
A Shepard tone, named after Roger Shepard, is a sound consisting of a superposition of sine waves separated by octaves. When played with the base pitch of the tone moving upwards or downwards, it is referred to as the Shepard scale. This creates the auditory illusion of a tone that continually ascends or descends in pitch, yet which ultimately seems to get no higher or lower. It has been described as a “sonic barber’s pole”.

iPhone apps I’d love to use as they are on the iPad
With the iPad announcement that iPhone apps will work immediately I got thinking about which apps I’d love to use as-is on an iPad:
- WriteRoom and presumably Taskpaper when it’s out
- Beatmaker – giant drum pad sampler!
- SunVox
- Jasuto – processing speeds will greatly enhance my enjoyment of this app
- Bleep!Box - a real size virtual drum machine!
That said, if I own and iPhone and an iPad I’d expect there to be some method of exchanging files between the two. Hopefully Apple’s recent move to force ioLibrary out of Amidio’s apps better points coming down the line.
PS - I think my desire to buy the $800 Teenage Engineering OP-1 just died.
Yeah… I’m thinking it too. That is a sweet reel–to–reel.

Blue Microphones Mikey – an iPhone compatible microphone that plugs into the iPhone/iPod slot. I’m dreaming of making field recordings with my iPhone.
