Make music with Griff

One thing that thrills me about the Pocket PC is the sheer power it offers for developers to create mind-blowing apps. Griff is one such application: you'd never believe a Pocket PC could do all of this! I'm a musician, but I don't do any sampling/sequencing so most of this is above my head. Still, I recognize potential when I see it, and for some people, this is the killer app they've been waiting for.
"Griff is a Portable Music Studio for the PocketPC. Including Synths, Samplers, Effects (Reverb, Chorus, Delay, Flanger, Distortion), PianoRoll Sequencer and full automation Griff provides everything you need to compose anytime, anyplace. Griff Incorporates a Plugin architecture allowing developers to create new synths and effects. Griff Exports to WAV and MIDI."
There's a great PocketNow review of Griff worth reading if you'd like to learn more about how this program works. I installed it on an Casio EM-500 and it was quite slow - this app really needs the 206 Mhz StrongARM juice to keep it moving quick.
