New Buzz beta highlighted

As you might have read already, Oskari Tammelin aka Jeskola, started rebuilding Buzz based on old back-ups.
The last real Buzz 1.2 update is made the 5th of october 2000, the day when Oskari's harddisk caught fire. After that no real native updates have been made.
Starting from June this year, Oskari started to rebuild Buzz based on an old back-up.

This article will highlight some of the new features that Oskari Tammelin has implement into the new beta version of Buzz.

1. Clone machines

No more hassle to create 5 instances of the same machine. Just right click the machine, select clone and a new instance of the machine is created.

2. Anti aliased connections and shadows

Connection lines between machines can now be optional anti aliased. Machine boxes can have optional shadows as well. When having > 1 core processor, this graphical stuff will be handled by
a different core than the audio one.

3. Pattern boxes

In the sequencer view, pattern can now have optional patternboxes with 3d look.

4. 32bit output

The harddisk recorder now has support for 32bit float output. It's also possible to load 24/32bit int waves in the wavetable.

5. Create machine by typing

In the machine view, you can now just start typing your keyboard to load a certain machine. For example when I would like to load the Rout 808, I just type 808 in the machine view and
an input box appears with the result. Press enter and the Rout 808 will be loaded for you.

6. Missing machine search

A song which contains a machine that isn't installed will still be fully loaded. The machine which isn't installed will contain the words "missing" in red and can be searched directly
on Buzzmachines.com by right clicking the machine and select "Search online"

7. 12db gain

Amps between machines now go up to +12dB. This used to be 0dB. Makes the use of small boosts through gain machines obsolete.

8. Native groove

Buzz now has native groove patterns. See the built-in machine "Jeskola Groove 1".

9. Crash recovery system

A new crash recovery system has been implemented. If a machine crashes in the Init, Tick or Work function, you can try to save your song and restart.

10. Theme extensions

It's now possible to add a background to the machineview and do more stuff with themes. See an example of a new theme made by evelon below.

12. Machine pattern editors

It is now possible for a developer to create their own pattern editors. Jeskola made two example machines. In the pattern editor of Jeskola Sine Synth you can draw the waveform which will be played when enabling the machine in the sequence editor.
His second example is Jeskola Pattern XP. In this machine you can combine invidual parameters of different machines into one pattern.

Developer BTD is currently working on a audio sequencer for Buzz which is now possible because of the machine pattern editor.

13. Sequencer visuals

Within the sequencer view, machines are able to draw stuff inside pattern boxes (e.g. waveforms).

Conclusion:

I probably forgot some other nice new features, but the main goal of this article was to highlight some improvements that have been made the past couple of months. For a full list of all the changes, check the changelog of the new Buzz build here.
Please share your thoughts with us by commenting on this article. I hope there will be more new implementations to Buzz in the future, so I can write another article highlighting new features.

If you want to try the new Buzz, just take a clean (old) Buzz installation and replace buzz.exe with the new version which can be downloaded below. Beware it's still beta (which Buzz actually always has been), so there may be functions not working properly.

Nice roundup! It covers the main features nicely. A couple of things that are worth noting though. Pattern boxes: these now indicate the pattern length in the sequence view. (This is implicit in your screenshot but is worth drawing attention to because it makes life so much easier.) Also, there's the fact that patterns play at the correct offset if you change the song position i.e. you can click on a position in the sequence editor partway through a pattern and the pattern plays from that position (instead of being silent). Little things that are big in my mind. Finally, a PatternXP screenshot might be nice too to make the Renoise users uneasy :D . . . http://www.jeskola.net/buzz/beta/files/pattern_xp_preview.png Thanks man - great review! 2008-09-24 by etruscan (Voted 10 for this review!)

I've been following the development of new buzz since the 'pimpom' thread appeared on buzzchurch, unfortunately I can't register there because of my gmail account, but I want to thank all the devs involved. That new custom pattern editor stuff is the future of buzz, I think we'll see lots of fascinating buzz machines soon. Good overview of new features, mva. Cheers! 2008-09-24 by serg (Voted 9 for this review!)

I was really excited when development of Buzz was restarted. I have always tought that Buzz is a great program but at the same time I have felt that it isn't finished (are programs ever finished?). I hope that as Buzz is now being developed again, we are going to see a program that is stable as rock and will kick ass of commercial programs even more than classic Buzz! :) Thanks to Oskari and thanks to mva for this great review! 2008-09-24 by Pexi (Voted 5 for this review!)

Wow. This is going to get DEEP. Looking forward to the Audio Seq and Pattern XP especially ... Also, just to clarify, in the "sequencer visuals" can we draw stuff in (fade outs, filtersweeps) or are all the graphics generated by the machines? (still cool, just wondering if it works both ways) And here is a wish for the new Buzz: I would like to be able to click and drag in machine view to select multiple machines. Then I could delete a whole chain at once rather than having to do each one individually. Viva Buzz peace 2008-09-30 by highsc0re (Voted 8 for this review!)

Regarding the Pattern Editor and I think this would be an important improvement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you can give an option to allow the cursor to follow the time line- so when you loop a pattern in record mode you can bang in notes and they'll appear in the pattern where the timeline is. This would be consistent with when you are changing machine parameters- they automatically go into the pattern at the timeline. Col 2008-11-27 by balmaha (Voted 10 for this review!)

It smells to me that now we´r closer to Oskari´s innital dream, the Buzz 2.0 project. I left Buzz aside (and changed to FlStudio) when i started with Win XP cause of all that crashing bugs, but yesterday y tried this new Buzz, and i spend a great funny time (with no problems!). I´m having problems right now in FLStudio with one of my favorites VSTs, but it works quitely good in this new Buzz, i´m thinking seriously to return back to Buzz as a parallel platform to my work, and it´s great!, i´ll be on the watch, really thanx to Oskari.

It's great that Jeskola Buzz is still developed after 8 years. :) I have some suggestions to make it comfortable and good music software in year 2009: 1. Installation Current Buzz installation is difficult and hostile. Perhaps the best solution for the whole package (Buzz + addons) is Windows Installer with a lot of option choices. 2. Better machines classification It would be great to create better machines classification - e.g. organs, piano, guitars, drums... However, it isn't as important as the need for better installer. I know that one machine may generate a lot of instruments but we must get discover them all to make good music. 3. Notes / patterns options How to achieve "legato" or other effects? 2008-12-25 by WebCM (Voted 10 for this review!)

I've found a bug in new version. I have set step to 24 in the sequence editor and saved my song. If I restart Buzz and load the song, step is restored to default value (16) and music isn't played properly. The first sequence has a loop by default. I have been thinking a lot of time, why only the first row is played. I've read about loops in the manual. However, why cannot we add or delete loops using program interface, e.g. context menu or a button on the toolbar? The only way is CTRL+E. If we put a pattern into the second row when step = 12, then we change step to 24, the pattern is not visible but it is played. Maybe such empty-filled rows should be marked by another color. Adding samples is difficult too... I would think of other solution than wavetable. It would be great if Buzz had extensions support like in Firefox, OpenOffice and a lot of applications. Extensions don't have to affect the whole interface but they may e.g. add more machines, functions, new items in main menu (or "Extensions" menu), etc. so it would be easier to manage them and install addons. I know that Buzz supports plugins but it should be more user-friendly with plugins manager. 2008-12-30 by WebCM (Voted 10 for this review!)

Isn't it possible to save a song within 3 seconds? Really? Maybe someone must write a compiler for .bmx files or make a virtual enviroment where 1 minute = 1 second. :D Buzz is a great software for creating music but not beginner-friendly yet (I hope it will be changed). It's very fast, starts quickly and uses little RAM and this is the greatest advantage! I'm looking forward to Buzz 2. 2008-12-30 by WebCM (Voted 10 for this review!)

This is cool! Nice to see that dev goes on again. I hope that Oskari will implement a more flexible sequence editor that can handle patterns of odd time signatures. (I may be alone with such a request, but still... I keep my fingers crossed, cos I think this can not be such a big deal to implement I think.) 2009-01-05 by Frog T (Voted 5 for this review!)

Sorry I don't know where to post this, but I still have those annoying flickering parameter windows with the overloader and the new buzz beta. No work-around for me either as I can not resize or anything once this happens. This renders my buzz basically unusable. So my question: is there any way to make a clean uninstall of the overloader? Or even better will there be anew overloader to address these problems. I have Windows Vista but have tried to run buzz in several compability modes (XP, 98), this didnt help either.

WOW!!! I've been a long time BUZZ user and even ahve my own site to promote buzz created tunez (google jestermgee). I have tried all the Buzz clones and they have all fallen short of the original buzz and haven't loaded my tracks. I've been away from buzzmachines for quite some time so to come back and find out that the program has been picked up again and may just have everything we always wanted has got me all excited. I, as probably many, am willing to spur on the creativity of Oskari with some donations if Buzz gets along a bit.

This looks absolutely awesome! Suggestion: I would find it very useful if a sort of midi-controller type machine existed. It would be like one of those keyboards you use to control your rack-synths, so it wouldn't make a sound by itself but feed a pattern into the machines, which would then work like the rack-synths without a kayboard, and look a bit like the effects. That way you could completely change the sound of a lead or pad without the tedious rewriting it all in a new machine! 2009-03-03 by Astral Buddy (Voted 5 for this review!)

I am so glad you are back. I wanted to write something right away (a year or what ago ?!? ;oD, either my old email or your server won't respawn my pass, receiveing nothin here), so, so glad... I mean, new tools are awesomely cool but I feel at home (more freedom even if it is hard to get for some fellows) running my "old" buzz copy all the time(now we are talking, I checked your beta 2 though, perfectly stable). There was nothing on pc but you guys right after fast-tracker, for rusty snd noobs like me out of amiga's pro-tracker and octamed. Thanks a ton Oskari, what happened to Hans, Juha and Luke, are they still up and running ?!? I just got back my amiga mods from old floppies... Thanks to muehle's plug and the amiga2pc double-drive trick, I can hear them back. They are not perfectely re-imported but almost... far enough to grab back very very cool ideas.

PS: OK sorry I am reading the thread only now. I am of course rocking Buzz on W7 and W7 was so glad (I mean compared to XP... Nah I am rude here xD) that I think Buzz will never get outdated ever... at least for me ! 2011-01-26 by OKR (Voted 5 for this review!)

Hi! I dont know what to do ... downloaded the latest BuzzSetup1465.exe installed it on my new win7, but if i wanna start the program, there is absolutly nothing happening. There is about 5 seconds a "I'm working"-sign on my mouse-pointer and then: nothing. I have installed the ".NET Framework 4 Client Profile". Tried some other builds from http://www.jeskola.net/buzz/beta/files/setup/ ... always the same. Anyone any idea? pls help 2012-05-07 by lieutenant (Voted 5 for this review!)
