'Shepard Designer’: Inouï Samples’ Concept of Creating Shepard Effect for Ultimate Expressiveness in Your TrackMake your sound original by transforming it into famous Shepard tone with various controls in easy.
A ‘Shepard tone’, named after American cognitive scientist Roger Shepard, creates auditory illusion of the tone that continually ascends or descends in pitch, yet which ultimately seems to get no higher or lower. Inouï Samples' ‘Shepard Designer’ allows you to instantly and incredibly easily create the Shepard effect on your sounds. ‘Shepard Designer’ comes with 144 varied exclusive instrumental sources, and it also works with user’s own making sounds.
‘Shepard Designer’ is a virtual instrument running under the full version of Kontakt 5.8.1 or higher. ‘Shepard Designer’ allows users to instantly and easily create famous Shepard tones from its internal audio instrumental sources or external audio samples. With the help of real-time controls, users can change tonal quality of sources instantly resulting in various auditory illusion effects based on the Shepard effect.
The Engine of Shepard Designer ‘Shepard Designer’ is designed to generate sounds under monophonic synthesis based on 9 layers of samples. There are 144 varied instrumental sources and each of these provides a different technique such as sustain, tremolo, and repetitions, etc. Besides these internal sound presets ‘Shepard Designer’ also provides users with the ability to import their own sound sources. Users can change the slope direction and speed of Shepard tones in real time and the slope can be automated through MIDI or the built-in LFO control. By changing the width of Bell curve users can get improved results in tonal quality and illusion effects of Shepard tones. In addition, the engine provides Attack and Release time controls for more detailed tonal controls.
Controls Over Shepard Tones The interface of ‘Shepard Designer’ is made up of 3 control zones - the main settings on the left, the speed knob in the middle, and the speed knob settings on the right side. The controls are easy and intuitive as each of the zones works in real-time and guarantees seamless workflows to users. However, we need to briefly explore the functions and controls of ‘Shepard Designer’ in order to get better results from the Inouï’s Shepard effects mechanism.
The Sound from ‘Shepard Designer’ To make dramatic sound effects with ‘Shepard Designer’ users should use the ‘Speed knob’ and 'Bell width’ appropriately. The Speed knob determines the direction and speed of a Shepard tone and the Bell width determines the area of the Shepard tone to be processed with the Speed knob. With these two controls, users can set the level of precision in the effect processing applied to the area defined by Bell width value. The sound can back and forth from a precise sound to a large effect and vice versa depending on the user’s setting of the two controls.
The ‘Shepard Designer’ creates not only long lasting effects but also fragments of sound such as clicks or pops. In addition, users can create impressive texture very quickly by launching two instances of ‘Shepard Designer’ with different settings of speed or direction. In fact, you can use ‘Shepard Designer’ as a tonal instrument to create unheard stress or relaxation effects so far.
