Instead of going off topic on the Twitter topic, let's give the shepard tone its own topic.
To sum up : the shepard tone is a sound that seems to be going up (or down) endlessly, it's the kind of sound that the brothers used before Escape Velocity in their DJ Sets :

I've done a second one a few minutes ago, and now it sound pretty good !

This time, instead of doing a 4 bars loop, I did 4 16 bars loop, with only one VCO going 48st up, each starting 4 bars after the other. Like that, there are no clicks.

It's like the siren in the Chemical Brother repertoire.
He put on a turn-down collar, a black bow, and wore his Sunday tail-coat. As such, he looked spruce, and what his clothes would not do, his instinct for making the most of his good looks would.
