It's somewhere between modal and tonal. There's no pre-determined scheme 
for the harmony, and each part was conceived as its own line, so it's 
fair to say that the harmony derived from the counterpoint, not vice-versa.

That synth sound really divides opinions. Most responses have indicated 
a liking for the composition, but a few have been dissatisfied with the 
synth sounds. As I wrote to Paul, I like the sounds, but since making 
the MIDI file available anyone is free to revoice it to the heart's 
desire. I'm patiently waiting for your version, Lorenzo. :)

Most (all?) my productions are CC-licensed, I welcome anyone's version 
of my music. At some point I'll be well beyond caring who uses it for 
what, might as well get comfortable with that notion now.

Suspicions confirmed. Well, you'll just have to use a different synth. 
Maybe one from this nice site :
