I am interested if anyone uses a sampler such as Short Circuit - inside buzz?
What is the advantage in using this over a tracker such as Unwieldy Tracker...?
Do you use a sampler?
Re: Do you use a sampler?
there'd be lots of reasons i guess (better time streching etc) but there's one big disadanvantage: samples used are not stored in the .bmx / wavetable. so i try to avoid using vst samplers as much as possible.
Re: Do you use a sampler?
I use both Shortcurcuit (2) and uTracker. And yes, samples in shortcircuit VSTi are stored within bmx/bmw. No worries. No need to reload them all (or presets/patch) everytime you open your saved Buzz project.
They are just different beasts. With utracker you have all the tasty tracker commands. With Shortcircuit you can play them via MIDI and you also have the tasty individual settings like better ADSR, envelopes, modulation/LFOs, internal effects, filters, tuning, fine-tuning, panning, etc etc. Everything (almost) in Shortcircuit can be controlled via MIDI.
I wish Buzz wavetable had/"borrowed" many of the Shortcircuit features, because frankly - it's one of the best samplers out there (and it's free, both #1 and #2). I can't wait to see what the coder Claes comes up with, with his upcoming DAW Bitwig.

are you really sure ? what happens if you move the original samples on disk ?Evelon wrote:And yes, samples in shortcircuit VSTi are stored within bmx/bmw.
Re: Do you use a sampler?
Totally sure. They are saved within the Buzz project file. If you have alot of samples, the project file will become huge. Pros and cons. Mostly pros in this case.UNZ wrote:are you really sure ? what happens if you move the original samples on disk ?Evelon wrote:And yes, samples in shortcircuit VSTi are stored within bmx/bmw.
Re: Do you use a sampler?
You're probably wrong. Test it out, do what UNZ said.

Alchemy, Iris, ElectraX (yes it can play samples), Battery 4, ScannerXT (OMG)... All great in their own way, sound killer too. ElectraX is a little moody, but does the job. Great thing about things like ScannerXT, Iris, and ElextraX is that you can resynthesize your samples, kinda like having them eat up the samples and poop out the good stuff. Highly reccomended.

I did. Lol.elekt wrote:You're probably wrong. Test it out, do what UNZ said.
Whatever. It works for me, so I'm happy.
Now...you try it.
Re: Do you use a sampler?
I take it back, you're right about Shortcircuit 2 (v0.5.1). SC1 doesn't. First time I've ever seen this.

Yeah, I love that Buzz and Shortcircuit2 get along so well.
