This is because there is now a much better featured spiralloop plugin for SpiralSynth Modular. Note that this is about SpiralLoops. He goes on to write about SpiralSynthBaby: There is also a smaller version of SpiralSynth specifically designed as a SpiralLoops plugin. This was written because my machine was unable to comfortably run the full synth and SpiralLoops together. SpiralSynthBaby is a two oscillator synth, and runs about twice as fast as SpiralSynth. There are still users--myself for example--who have slow computers, for which something "better featured" is not necessarily desirable. Warning users not to use software just because its author doesn't offer support seems like overkill. -- Trevor Johnson
