Multi-track On Yer iPAQ
Groove away on yer PDA, etc.. with ace app for the WinCE/Pocket PC platform. 12-Feb-02
 Tucked away in an unassuming stand at the recent Sounds-Expo exhibition in London, was probably the coolest exhibit of the show. UK based software developer Cobwebb Communications were showing a deeply nifty Sequencing/ Sampling package for the burgeoning WinCE, PocketPC market. This serious tool based around the plug-in architecture concept, allows owners of a PDA (personal digital assistant) running WindowsCE for the pocket PC, to create CD quality music, and is aimed primarily at the musician on the move.
At last, a seriously portable sequencing and sampling tool. Imagine 44.1 Khz, 16bit output quality in your pocket with a 24bit internal signal path giving you maximum headroom. Refreshing.
A Grid Pattern Editor is used to input your sounds, the Sean Connery of UI�s (nice knobs and sliders), song editor, section editor and parameter editor. If that is a little hard to take, the real-time sequencer is driven at 480ppqn for maximum tightness, with bpm and time signature both fully adjustable.
Version one will is released with built-in instruments to include � Sampler, Synth, Reverb, Delay and many more, with further plug-ins and samples available to download.
Futher system enhancements are planned and are completely driven by user input � so if you want see a USB keyboard for real time input or enable use of the iPAQs built in mic to mumble vocal lines over your creations then you�d better get stuck in. BTW, the software is ridiculously underpriced at �29.99 (+/-$40).
Griff Version 1 for WinCE PocketPC�s and PDA�s was released on December 17th and is available as a download from the website: http://www.planetgriff.com info@planetgriff.com
