BuzZ – ThE tRaCker.
BUZZ takes you back to the beginnings of computer-supported popular music – with the most
modern and optimal code for use under Windows. BUZZ is a music program whose design and
use is similar to the"trackers" – used in the mid-80's on the Commodore AMIGA and later on
DOS computers.– In BUZZ music is "programmed" which at first sounds worse than it does at
the end: you select an instrument (here: generator) and program so-called patterns. A pattern
is one or more bars of notes. These patterns are then finally put together into a track list of
complete songs (arranged).
The special features of BUZZ: the patterns do not just contain notes - they also have control
information for the instruments. And these instruments are not just simple "players" of WAV
files, but are, for example, physical modeling models, virtual analog synthesizers, effects
makers and much more. In other words: it's pretty cool. BUZZ continues to exists because of
its open programming code which allows other developers to write their own generators and
