Abstract

The following is a useful CSOUND-setup for generating Shepard-tones. CSOUND runs from two basic files: an orchestra file and a score file. The orchestra file contains an instrument (or set of instruments) that tells how to synthesize sound; the score file contains control parameters of which note should be played and at what time. In this example, the instrument produces Shepard-tones. Comments begin with a semicolon (;).
