The effects are all separate plug-ins using aux sends from a mixer, so
yes, but Griff doesn't have live audio input yet. I think the in-out
latency on WinCE will be 50-100ms, but there is a per-sample interrupt
so if that could be used, latency could be very low.

Yes, it already has some big advantages over the QYs - you can easily load
your own samples, and there are are already about 5 "synth" plug-ins as well
as several FX plug-ins.

Where can I find the driver code? I don't know if I'd have to write a
device driver to make it work in WinCE, but it's worth investigating.
