Spongefork is fantastic. - Version: 3.3.3, 6/22/2008 05:09AM PST

Too often, wonderful apps like this get abandoned & overlooked. In sound design, there is an unavoidable tension between the uniqueness of the tool (vs. sounding like everybody else in laptop land), and the steepness of that tool's Learning Curve. Spongefork has always balanced originality & accessibility. Easy to learn, yet thick with creative possibilities. Kudos to Ryan Francesconi & Phil Burk for keeping it current.

I will need to experiment some with this. It is already a bit sluggish when accessing the preferences and presets (spinning beachball) and I'm running a G4 800 with over a gig of RAM.
