hi,
I've just been working on some supercollider code to automatically
generate notes in a shepard scale from any incoming midi events. I
thought I would post the code and a sample of how it sounds in case
anyone else finds it useful.
The way it works is you send supercollider a stream of midi events
through its midi port, and the program converts these into outgoing
midi events which represent notes in a shepard scale. If you play a
rising scale on a keyboard, the notes will come out as rising shepard
scale notes; similarly for a falling scale. It works best if you feed
it into a pure sine wave generator, but you get some interesting
effects with other synths.
The code and the sample mp3 are here:

Any comments on the code are welcome. (I'm still fairly new to
supercollider :) ).
hope someone finds this useful,
P.S. if you try out the code, bear in mind that you need to set the
polyphony quite high on the synth you are using to play the notes, as
each incoming note generates 11 outgoing notes at different velocities.
