Buzz

Buzz is a complex and efficient piece of software meant to assist you in being as creative as possible when making music, working in a modular fashion and allowing you to use as many devices as you want.

Comprehensive yet practical interface

The tool’s main window is fairly simple and straight-forward, making it easy to handle even for less experienced individuals. In addition, the extensive ‘Help’ material is more than enough to get you started, if you are a beginner.
The tabbed interface supports the swift movement between ‘Machines', ‘Templates’ and ‘Parameters’, while the toolbar allows you to easily change the view modes or play, record and loop sounds.

Make your own music from scratch

For starters, it would be best to configure Buzz to how you need it to function, setting the ‘Wave Output’, ‘Wavetable’, ‘MIDI Input’, ‘MIDI Output’ and ‘Engine’ from the ‘Preferences’ section of the program.
The application works with a series of ‘Machines’ by means of which you can create your sounds. When starting a new project, you will have a ‘Master’ object, to which you can begin adding ‘Generators’, ‘Effects’ and ‘Controls’ from the available list, just by drag and dropping them onto the working window and organizing them how you best like.
Each ‘Machine’ can be customized to fulfill your needs, as Buzz lets you adjust its ‘Parameters’, ‘Latency’, ‘Patterns’, while also being able to ‘Mute’ or ‘Bypass’ it; you can choose a preferred ‘MIDI Input Channel’. The ‘Parameters’ tab enables you to modify the properties of all the ‘Machines’ from a single location, or only of a selected one, by moving the gliders left or right.

Modular music studio

To sum it up, Buzz is an advanced and reliable utility which can help you create original sounds, presenting itself as a soft-studio with synthesizer, sequencing and tracker capabilities, all in a single package.
