FREE Eventide Temperance Lite - "world's first musical reverb"

Of Temperance Lite, Eventide say: "Imagine a room filled with thousands of tuning forks, each tuned to a different frequency. What if you could control the loudness and decay of each one?
Temperance models reverberant spaces as thousands of independent resonances (modes), all adjustable in real time. While convolution reverbs capture a space in a single snapshot, Temperance builds it piece by piece, letting you shape how each mode decays or resonates".
In practice you get control over the 12 notes in the chromatic scale and the octaves. You can either boost or cut to accentuate notes or chords.
It's interesting, unique even. Fun to play with - you can do stuff like create rhythmic drones easily. But my main thought is - all very well, but won't you want to change the notes on every chord change?
But hey, it's free. Presumably a full fat paid version will come along in due course.
EDIT - clearly what this needs is midi input to change the selected notes. That would be a whole new ballgame, potentially very interesting.
