There are a number of programs in development that are quite similar to buzz. Which of those do you think will develop into something usable, or even a replacement for buzz?

Have I forgotten any major contenders?

Let's do forget Aero Studio. It's released, it's commercial, there's no manual. LOL

hmm i have actually never heard of the other clone projects besides buzzle. buzzle seems furthest along and already has the buzzlib liscence.

Aero was a big dissappointment, and psycle is nice, just different from buzz. Its development has faltered some however.

Buzzle also seems closest to the orginal buzz interface, which for me is the benefit of using buzz.

Added Aero.

I hope Hotkey can get his act together in terms of cpu usage..

The only real problem with Aero is that it's been released. It's obviously not finished. If only the first "1" in the version number was a "0" then things would be just swell. It's definitely the sexiest Buzz clone, however. But Buzzle gets bonus points for the merchandise!

registering a logo with a print-on-demand provider hardly entitles for bonus points...

Buzzle will definitely be the most successful with me. While I was reading the notes on it, I'd realized that almost every feature I wanted in Buzz was available, and a lot I didn't even jokingly wish for (like cleanup, machine view panning, drag connections...)

It crashes pretty hard and frequently on my XP box, but so do most 3D accellerated games, so I'm sure it's not all Buzzle's fault.

Buzz2 gives me the IT3 feeling. Seems people have been waiting for it for far too long. It's the kind of thing you probably shouldn't even think about -- if/when it happens, celebrate (if it's worth celebrating), and if not... well, Buzz is a killer app already, no?

Hear, hear, although I wouldn't mind a bit more stability. but i guess if Buzz2 ever comes out, I'll be lucky if my head doesn't explode from sheer joy. It nearly did on that april fools joke Neutral

i can't believe no one else voted for psycle

um, actually, developement is still happening. there are plans to ad multisequence capability to it, and to make it a cross platform application...

i think psycle is the most likely to succeed. what happened with buzz interms of the stopping of development is nearly impossible with psycle, because of its open source status.

ok, what the fascination of multipattern sequencing is, i will never know, but its been possible with buzz for years now

BTDSys Peerchord
BTDSys Peerchord light
BTDSys Samplegrid and Samplegrid Out
Fuzzpilz Unwieldy Tracker ("beta") (Polac Out I)
and PVST with VSTi/VST that have multiout (Polac Out I, II)
and i think Ohm's new LiveSlice machine has some peer out capabilities

A Screenshot


and some relevant links

Peerchord Multiout

Samplegrid and Multiout Tutorials http://www.noolmusic.com/buzzreview/tracker_tutorial.shtml

and with Fuzzpilz Utracker - a bmx example
http://www.noolmusic.com/temp/utrck_multiout_example.bmx

so yea buzz can do it too for a long time now, nothing new Smile

I think in terms of "succeeding", Psycle has proven itself a long time ago. However, it will never replace Buzz outright, as it has a different feel to it that not everyone prefers (or at least it has a different feel that I don't prefer). Just like Aero and Buzzle, and probably the others, in fact.

So my vote goes to the cool-looking program usr is playing with in that video Smile

yeah it's some kind of patched up inofficial beta of some vintage underground sequencer/synthesizer app. it doesn't even have it's official web site left, so i don't feel it would be ok to share it, sorry.

rumors have it that some modules are made by an enterprise with deep ties into the penispheric movement, which means that it could contain all kinds of spy code that could potentially be used to blackmail disbelievers. really dangerous stuff, don't try at home.

Ganz Geil ! you missed the repeated shouting of 'MACHEIN VIEEUUU '

anyone reading this who has not yet backed up their buzzinstall for a while should take this time to do it. ..if that makes sense.

knowing, what development environment and language is used to
code buzzle (delphi), how old the developer is, what aspects of the
application he focused on first (networking before getting machines to
work right), what other wrong priorities were set (nothing bad about
motivating oneself, but is merchandise for vaporware really
neccessary?), i predict that cockslap will have a greater chance of
getting finished - tho i know how slow i progress with cockslap.

actually buzzle was the reason why i started working on cs.

considering cyans pace, visnorwig might get finished first.

I think - if the Psycle will have a Buzz-like sequencer, it will
be very good tracker. Is'n't ?

However: psycle only has around 30 machines orso... compared to the _i dont even want to count them_ maches buzz has. its not a contender in the race. anything psycle can do, buzz can do better:)

psycle suffers from its missing multisequencer, and the devs are nerdish oldskoolers who'd rather want to assrim a donkey than add that feature to psycle.

http://www.deepline.pl/psycle/

paniq. for you

the problem with this branche of psycle is big.
the developer who took it upon himself to extend the multi pattern sequencer will only let others develop his addition to the source if/when a some of money is donated. noone wanted to, so when it branched it died instantly in development. ..

Hi Mirfus,

as I see that very very old polls, but please notice that Buzz isnt like oldschool tracker, if you like oldschool go for Psycle (yes I think its same like Psycle tracker) but Buzz is somewhere else now, unfortunately if Psycle support Buzz machines from beggining it could be somewhere else now.

well, acutally many many people are of the opinion that psycle sounds *much* better than buzz... (which is an area that psycle has over buzz) psycle's machies are very good... plus there's always vst's ... so i dont' really think that the number of machines has much to do with it... - besides the ammount of machines is a double edged sword... it also makes it crash heaps... plus buzz looks plain henis (pronounce phonetically) - psycle is a much more relaxing environment to work in...

btw, in psycle there is a command (FDxx) to delay the trigering of a note a fraction of a tick (to give that nice human feeling to drum patterns etc) i havn't been able to figure out how to do this (easily) in buzz... is there a way?
