I counted a pitch shifter, delay, reverb, envelope filter, and ring modulator in various combinations among the various FX on display; thought I heard an LFO at work around 2 minutes in, and maybe a white noise generator too.  How does one go about getting one's hands on the free original software, short of attending SPAH?

Hey Richard.

Thanks for checking out the piece. I do tend to throw in the kitchen sink....

I'm sorry to hear I won't get a chance to meet you at SPAH. Maybe somewhere else this year?

I would be happy to make the free software I mentioned available to anyone who's interested after SPAH. I will upload it to an ftp Dropbox and send the link to all who request it. 

...and I'll put you first on that list!

All the best,

- John
