This is really cool! Does anyone think we’d be able to convert this into a extension or something?

It wouldn’t, but, making a harmonic synthesizer (what this is based on) could work for an extension.

These sound really wonderful, tune colour of instruments are emulated, can be identify easily.  
How did you feature out these parameters between octaves of intrusments?

I did it through Ultraabox (to first experiment with the harmonics), a simple formula to calculate the harmonics of every sound, and then, made functions that correspond to the base frequency, duration, and polytones.
