icon import and export sounds (0)  
I just had an idea for a sound that could be used for importing and exporting in drod.
Ever heard of a Risset scale? It's sort of an aural "illusion" of tone that rises in pitch infinitely. (or falls in pitch).
It's sort of hard to explain how the sound is synthesized, but you all know how to use the web, so I won't try to explain it.

It's really sort of erie, because you can hear that the pitch is rising**, but it never seems to get any higher...
So, what do you think, a rising risset for importing, a decending one for exporting?


** it's really a chord of octaves ascending in pitch together. each individual octave is very soft when it is at it's lowest pitch, and rises in volume as it rises in pitch, peaking in volume in the middle of the range and then descending in volume as it continues to rise in pitch. a full range of octaves doing this simeultaneously is what create's the "illusion".

I guess that wasn't too hard to explain afterall.
