The opening sound is from Phase Plant, based on three different sources of the original frog call.  The first two sounds are just one chunk of the call taken from HALion with the Blackhole reverb embedded in it, with the harmonics an octave apart, presented as a slow loop, each a different rate of speed.  Those are sent to the FX with a long decay.  

The third source is the entire call but just the first section used, also in a loop.  This is much sharper (no reverb), and gives it the varied color.  The envelope for it indicates a sharp attack and release.  The FX that all three sound sources get, then, include the Ensemble (random chorusing), a Flanger, and the Ring Modulator, controlled again by the aftertouch pressure on the key.    It’s that ring modulator that brings in the burping, bubbly sounds.

The same drum sound returns from previous pieces, used only three times to give an articulation to the low Phase Plant sound each time it starts a new phrase down there in the “pedal” range.  But the wiggly, bubbly cough sound is new.  This is a Padshop frog snippet, but this time applied to its arpeggiator, then a simple delay is added.  Finally, the last high sound is the original frog call.
