k8to's New Writeupshttp://everything2.com/?node=New%20Writeups%20Atom%20Feed&foruser=k8to2000-07-12T08:01:22Zbuzz (thing)http://everything2.com/user/k8to/writeups/buzzk8tohttp://everything2.com/user/k8to2000-07-12T08:01:22Z2000-07-12T08:01:22Z<p>An incredibly nifty realtime music composition program, written by crazy people from <a href="/title/Finland">Finland</a>. It runs on <a href="/title/Windows">Windows</a>, sadly, and was somewhat forward looking.
<p> What makes Buzz more powerful than its bretheren is that is is a framework for connecting so called 'Machines' together, which can be written by third party developers. The Machines are capable of creating note information, like a <a href="/title/sequencer">sequencer</a>, or or creating <a href="/title/waveforms">waveforms</a>, or additionally <a href="/title/filtering">filtering</a> the noise in a variety of ways.
<p> All these machines are tweakable, as part of the <a href="/title/program">program</a> that you create for buzz. Many Buzz songs are composed in a <a href="/title/tracker">tracker</a>-like interface, but this is not required, you could of course write your own input machine.
<p> starting to get it?

Montreal has fabulous food and beautiful men *wink wink* and women.
