Hope this makes sense? Apparently it sounds like a never ending rising scale. If anyone knows of a recording of this, I would be interested to hear it; if not I might have a go at making one. andy :) _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
