special effect

[Robert H. Rickner-III]

If you want to experiment with this phenomenon look into an old program
called virtual waves, I think that's the title.  It's a modular tone
generation program for the PC.  I believe you can get a copy at
www.maz-sound.com  With a little ingenuity you can easily create this
effect with either tones or a phaser type effect for the endlessly rising
phase sound.  After that find a loop point, this can be hard, and use it
as a sample in your sampler.  The only down side is that to keep it all at
the same rising speed you'll need to create a sample for every note you'd
like to play.
