Spiratone Overview: The {Spiratone} is a form of Shepard Tone generator. It is a sonic barber pole that creates the auditory illusion of a tone that continually ascends or descends in pitch, yet ultimately seems to get no higher or lower.

{Spiratone} Panel Controls (Cont’d) 7. TONIC Panel Control: adjusts the pitch of all oscillators. 8. TONIC CV IN: unity, 1V/ Octave pitch control INput. Not quantized. Range 0V to 6V. 9. INTERVAL Panel Control: Sets internal modulation speed, no modulation at NOON, modulates up CW from NOON, and down CCW from NOON.

Patch Example: Sentient Bottle Rocket (Thanks, Tony!): Press any pad on the Pressure Points to ignite the Sentient Bottle Rocket. Patch Example: Arti cial De-Celleration (Thanks, Tony!): Brie y turn on MATHS Ch. 1 Cycling and wait for Ch. 4 to be triggered via EOR. At which point, press the Ch.1 CYCLE Button again in order to disengage cycling, allowing the trigger loop to continue inde nitely.
