The Song Editor
Layout your song structure, set the beats per bar,
tempo and song length here.
The blocks at the top of this view are Sections.
You can have unlimited sections per song. Sections can be
aliased (referenced) multiple times (As the Verse and Chorus are
here). Any changes to the one alias will be reflected in all
the other aliases.
Double Tapping on a Section (In this case the 'Intro'
Section) brings you to...

The Section Editor
Assign Patterns to Targets here. Patterns
hold the Notes and Parameter Data. Targets are Instruments,
Effects and the Mixer.
Patterns, Like Sections, can be aliased multiple
times, they can be any length (up to the length of the section)
and can start at any point.
Double tapping on a Pattern (In this case the 'Main
Chords' Pattern) brings you to...

in a traditional 'Piano Roll' editor.

editor offers full zoom capability. Zoom time from 1
pulse right up to 999 bars. Zoom pitch from 1 note to
127.

The Parameter Editor
Automate any of the Parameters of the Target here
with a stroke of the stylus.
This includes all the Instrument and effect Parameters
as well as any of the controls on the mixer. Everything is
editable, adjustable and replayable in real-time.
Talking of the Mixer...

|
|
The Mixer
Controls Level and Pan for each Instrument and
Effect. Routes each instrument to each effect through near
infinite effect busses. Master Level ensures you can crank
it up when it starts rocking.
Double tapping on any of the Mixers controls takes
you straight to the Appropriate Parameter Editor for automation.
Double tapping on the Channel Name Strip brings
up the Instrument Screen.
For Example...

The Sampler
The Sound workhorse.
Create samples on your PC or record them directly
on your PocketPC, map them across a range of keys and adjust the
settings to suit. The Sampler is your gateway to an unlimited range
of sounds.

for your instant gratification, with other SamplePacks available
to download and install.

The mSyn
Complementing the Sampler is a built in monophonic
synthesiser designed by mda offers an extraordinary sound palette
at your fingertips. Tweak the mSyn's sound in realtime or

Distortion
Built to destroy, the distortion packs a double
punch.
In Distort mode it will add anything from a warm
overdrive to an ear splitting howl to your production.

quality for that gritty Lo-Fi touch.
And for your final delight...

Flanger
Make that source wobble.
All Instruments and effects come with a Preset
system for loading and saving your favorite settings.
And did I mention that All the controls
above can be tweaked in realtime or fully automated ?

citizens of PlanetGriff demand more.
They Demand....
