I've been using it since version 1 in various capacities. I started out using it to perform with, for a while I was using it as my entire live setup. Since then, what I've ended up using it for mostly is anytime I have a kinetic idea for a synthetic sound. I'm making that sound more pretentious than it is. Okay say I'm working on something and I think "gee, something really needs to go WHEEESHOOOOOOOOOBLURT right there." Instead of trying to program that idea into something, or processing an acoustic sound with the same contour etc etc, I can open spongefork and work it out by playing it. I really like that - very direct way to play in more acousmatic stuff. Anyway, I'm on this crazy new sleep schedule so I may be coming off as a crazy. I use it all the time for sound design, I think the more you use it, the more its value becomes apparent.

this is pretty cool for making little sine wave melodys with a guitar input. it's quite glitchy on my macbook though, is there a setting you can change?

Wow, I haven't played with this since OS9! I agree with you Hecanjog, it's really intuitive and can be a great way to generate ideas.

polyphasic? how poly- is it?
I haven't heard the word SpongeFork in ages. I didn't get it the first time I tried it.

after playing with it, I like it a lot.
It has a lot of potential to be another soundlayer that reacts to your playing - not only pitch following but modulation by your incoming signal

yeah it's really flexible. i think it's strength is that it does a very small number of things very well. the fun part comes in learning to play it and tease new sounds out.
@nagrom i'm doing a triphasic schedule. 90 minutes roughly every 6 hours. early morning, early afternoon, and evening. My last cycle was better than the last - I wasn't as tired before it, and woke up just before my alarm feeling more refreshed than I have been.

also roshi - shit, i forgot he added lots of auto-reactive features somewhere along the line - haven't explored that aspect of it at all - curious to hear your experience!
