Ok before anyone comes back with youtube links or etc on how to do it, don’t bother, I know how to do it and create one, I don’t need to see your links.
I’m just thinking that to add to Sonic’s fantastic database of cool tutorials, I think a bite size on the Shepards Tone would be really good, after all, why should Sonic’s members have to use Youtube when all the resource is here on this site.

+1 for the bite size.
If anyone does have any links, I’d like to see them btw… 
Have made a couple of pretty cool sounding things following tuts in the past, but nothing “Air-Raid Apocalypse” - like.

I won’t link because I’m not sure on SA’s rules regarding YouTube, I know they don’t like links to rival websites but as this tutorial is from Tom Cosm (rival website) but on youtube, it’s a touchy one. Try doing a search on YT for: "Creating A Shepard’s Tone Using Ableton Live Part 1 "
Someones commented on the Youtube video saying:
"You get an ascending sinetone.
You can make ascending and descending by simply looping once and then reverse the
second part of the wave.Then phase invert the second wave.
Drop a fowel filter stage 3 on it so you get a filtered fowel.
Use chebyshev disortion stage 3 filter so it sounds more natural.
Duplicate the tone 2 times.
Reduce each by log₂ 3×3 = 4,754887502 dB
Pitch down to [-7, -1 or other ]semitones the 2nd and 3rd channel so you get your chords.
Normalize the results. "
All that sounds like jargon to me lol. Any technical buffs here know what this guy is on about and can explain in laymans? 
I understand Tom’s way of doing things, but this seems another way of doing it and i’d like to know 
Clearly bit size tuts are the way forward.
mda have a shepherd tone generator - but a warning you should turn down your amp/speakers intially as i nearly blew my eardrums when i first tried it out as it intial settings are FAR too loud :exclamationmark:
I made some fun fx but stil not used it on any track
will check this out when i get home
tom cosm’s stuff tends to produce some pretty good vids
