WHOA! 8O

I've been waiting for an App like this ever since I saw PhoenixStudio on a Casiopeia PocketPC (it was never ported to ARM or XScale Processors).

I wonder how it will compare to Griff... Looks cool though! 8)

Nifty, nifty nifty, want it. Love it's big brother!

[bandersnatch]

It doesn't look like these guys are actually related to the full Acid in any way. At least Sonic Foundry doesn't seem involved. I wonderif Sonic Foundry even knows that they've done this, and if not I'd they'll get in a bit of trouble over the product name...

Still, it's cool to see more music apps coming to the Pocket PC.

Right.. How many cool music apps *are* there for PocketPC? None. It's a crying shame considering how perfect PPC would be for a musician. To be able to write down the music as soon as it hits to you is essential.

It's just like me when I'm drawing. I never get any inspirations when I have to sit down to my desktop computer. Nice cafeteria, a cup of coffee and relaxed atmosphere, that's where I do my best works.

I've been waiting for the upcoming Atari ST emulator so I could use some of its SoundTrackers to produce music. This, ofcourse, would be much, much better.

There's Griff (but it's overpriced, and has a plugin system with almost no free plugins) and PhoenixStudio. There IS PhoenixStudio for ARM - otherwise I'd have no clue how I was able to try it out?

Looking at it, there IS ARM support, it's not officially supported though.

I can't wait until this program comes out!

Nifty! But it's a shame it doesn't seem to do MIDI.

[T-Will]

Are there any notation programs available for Pocket PC, like a pocket version of Finale?

[Trevor_NYC]

It's funny that their calling it Acid when it seems more like a clone of Propellerheads Rebirth. Acid is based on sample playback, not analog synth and drum machine modeling.

I'd still love to get my hands on it. I have Griff but I never got used to the user interface.

Sorry to hear about that. We've got a tutorial up on the website now that may help you: http://www.planetgriff.com/tutorial/index.html

[PPC to go]

Anyone have any idea what happened to these guys. The web site doesn't even let you in any more. :roll:

[Tim Allen]

Looks like they've been forced to change the name already - it's now called PocketJam:

Jaytrax for PPC doesn't directly support MIDI, but Jaytrax for PC (for PC it's free) supports MIDI importing.
