Music Blocks: Shepard Tone #843

A Shepard Tone is a sound that is perceived as always increasing in pitch.

Part of Wikipedia Definition: "Overlapping notes that play at the same time are exactly one octave apart, and each scale fades in and fades out so that hearing the beginning or end of any given scale is impossible. As a conceptual example of an ascending Shepard scale, the first tone could be an almost inaudible C4 (middle C) and a loud C5 (an octave higher)."

Since we have independent control of volume per voice, we should be able to create a Shepard tone, which is a sequence of tones that give the illusion of infinitely increasing in pitch while actually remaining within an octave.

This task (which corresponds to Music Blocks Issue #843 is to create a Shepard Tone project and publish it on the Planet.

Please upload a link to your project to complete the task.
