was reading about the sad saga of Buzz recently - how they lost the source code and it'll never be updated again. Anyways like a fool I want to take a look at its corpse. Buzzmachines.com is not redirecting properly for me - is there a mirror where you can download it? |

maybe youre lucky in fileshareing sofware, i still got it on my hardidsk and cd cause i really digged it but i dont share it on soulseek right now, maybe later |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
where do you have that info from ? any links ? that sounds quite horrible |
||||||||
|

thet lost the sourcecode? thats dumb really :/ |
||||||||
|
|

I downloaded it once a loooong time ago but couldn't get my head around the modular nature of it so I deleted it. Too bad because it looks so interesting! |
||||||||

i used it tracking my own noises and would use on track in the sequencer for each sound/pattern, was a good time |

Buzz was always fun to work in. It never sounded great though. I have heard some people work miracles in it though. |
||||||||

buzz was more unstable than a wheelchair on pogo stick. shame. could have been great tings. |

still can't find any info on that loosing-sourc-code-thing but whatever. it looked at it ages ago but shortly after that i stumbled about reaktor and it just sounded a lot better. but i mean you cannot even compare those programs - i mean buzz is completely freeware and reaktor has it's price |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, and reaktor has the cusom interface thing, the freely assignable controllers and math functions. I would say buzz was a lot closer to reason than it was reaktor. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
on the other hand reaktor still lacks some very important option: support for external devices like vst plugins. |

Mirror of buzz machines.com: |

|
|
Yes. Personally, the one thing I could ask for from reaktor would be the ability to compile its patches into their own VST plugins or executables. |
||||||||

But yeah, Buzz is an awesome program. I've used it solidly for the last 7 or so years and I'm still finding out new stuff from it (Particularly with the Peer machines). All our albums have been made using nothing but Buzz so take a listen and see what you think. |

fuck, I forgot this place had no EDIT button. I meant to add that people are trying [and quite successfully] to rewrite Buzz from scratch: Aldrin - Buzz for Linux () Buzé - The latest remake project for Win32 () BuzzRMX - An attempt to make a 1:1 remake of Jeskola Buzz (but stable) () |

wtf is wrong with this installation it's hectic, it's soo much read, it's annoying, it's long, and why oh why allow users to uninstall it right after installing it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aha, thanks for the link! It looks like it was designed by a committee of anarchists. All strange options and weird workarounds. And now it only crashes instead of opening. :-( I will try some of the clones. |
||||||||
|

I tried a Buze trial version last year and I liked it although it still had tons of bugs to fix. And yeah, it was tragic about the Buzz saga with Oskari Tammelin(?) losing the source code and whatnot. He really could have made that program flawless given enough time.. now we have to rely on clones. The original still works best for me though. fleetmouse: There's all kinds of fixkits and bug reports out there.. that might help clear up that crashing issue, if the original is what you're after. |
||||||||

Mainly I'm interested in a modular VSTi host. I was hoping Buzz would be stable and elegantly simple, but it's uggily complex and crash prone so I don't know it it's worth pursuing... What I'd really like is a free Plogue Bidule clone. |

buzz is back in business |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
there was a new app called Buzé (I think) which had a way better interface than Buzz and was mostly compatible, though it crashed every time I exited. yes, this |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Try Psycle, it's an open source Buzz spinoff, I use it quite often and produce all my music using it, it's not flawless nor frequently updated but it does the trick. Plus, if you have some knowledge of C you can code your own plugins for it, which is fun. |

i wanna figure this out how do u lose the source code? its not like it jump off the page and left! |

If I remember correctly the programmer had a power failure/surge/or something in his house. |
