Description
Foreword: “… Shepard Notes is the latest psycho-acoustic phenomena in modern cinematic scoring. The Shepard’s create a whole new emotional atmosphere around your composition. What’s so beautiful about them is that they create an illusion of elements rising or falling, but without really doing so and without conflicting with the rest of your music. It’s a sonic illusion at its finest and an integral tool for anyone interested in contemporary scoring.” (Troels Folmann)
8Dio Shepard Tones is a sample library dedicated to the highly popular Shepard Tones. The library contains over 10GB of block-buster grade Shepards – designed by 8Dio’s masterful sound designers and Academy, T.E.C and G.A.N.G Award Winning Producer, Troels Folmann.
The Shepard Tones are divided into a variety of different categories. The categories include both organic and orchestrally textured Shepards and clean synth-based variations. We also created both slow, medium and fast-moving Shepard’s, so you can find exactly the one that fits the mood, texture and tempo of your composition.
8Dio Shepard Tones also contains unique rising Shepard’s that continues to rise (or fall) over a span of 6 octaves – while the Shepard continues to rise within itself. In addition, we created unique categories containing both dry and wet Shepards.
The 3D-Based User Interface is the perfect compliment to the Shepard Tones. A single click and your Shepard’s are reversed – giving the opposite effect of elements falling. Another click and the tempo-synced gate is activated – offering you the ability to BPM-sync and arpeggiate the Shepards.
8Dio Shepard Tones also contains a vast section of additional effects, including filters, filter-modulation, bit-crusher, distortion and dual convolution reverb. We custom designed a variety of new big verb impulses particular for the library, so you can add minute reverbs to the Shepards.

All Sorts of Shepards
8Dio Shepard Tones contains a deep selection of both Organic and Synthetic Shepard’s. The organic material is derived from our custom sample catalogue and many made from orchestral elements. The textures are lush, alive and varied. The synthetic material was created with synths – offering you clean, tight synthetic variations of Shepard’s. In addition the hundreds of Shepard’s are covering both bass, medium, high and ultra-high frequency ranges.
All Types of Music
The usage of Shepard Tones has become a widespread phenomenon in both soundtracks (ex. Hans Zimmer), EDM (ex. Swedish House Mafia), Video Games (ex. Mario Cart), Rock (ex. Pink Floyd) and many, many others. It is a powerful tool because it doesn’t tie to any specific form of music, but rather augments and enhances anything its used it. 8Dio Shepard Tones comes with both organic and synthetic textures. It also comes in hundreds of slow, medium and fast varieties, so it can tie to your music in the best possible way.
All The Options
8Dio Shepard Tones comes with a wealth of one-click effects. A single click and your Shepard is reversed – creating a downwards spiral type of sound.
