Add spiralsynth 0.1.5, a nifty program that generates noise or music
(depending on the talents of the user) from a MIDI or PC keyboard, and outputs to /dev/dsp or to a .wav file. PR: 21053 Submitted by: Trevor Johnson <trevor@jpj.net>

+adapted from the Web page and the README:
+
+Spiral Synth is a physically modelled, monophonic, analogue
+synthesizer. It is capable of creating the kind of sounds made by
+hardware analogue synths, the noises used in electronic music.
+You can also use it to make stranger sounds. MIDI is supported,
+including velocity detection, mapped to the volume of the oscillators
+(but you can also use the PC keyboard to play the synth). Output
+is to /dev/dsp or in Microsoft RIFF (.WAV) format to a file. You
+can save and recall your sounds using the 100 patch save slots.
+
+The PC keyboard can be used to play the synth, "q" & "z" are C,
+and the keys progess from them, ie "2" is C#, "w" is D etc. These
+are just the defaults, and can be changed from the .Spiralrc file.
+The function keys change the octave.
+
+Sample output and a detailed list of features can be found on the
+home page.
