That's special. I like it.

Hi there, as I'm not able to post at GitHub, I post an errormessage right here and hope it helps to solve the problem.
I run ReBuzz11 on Win10, latest delivered "modern" theme and when I try to lower cpu usage (which is pretty much higher than on the other Oskari-Buzz types) by "settings" "engine", "subtick resolution" I just get this errror message, it just works with "normal" setting, can you WDE please fix this? Thx in advance ...

Wooaaah! What a fast fix, Version 1812 of ReBuzz fixed the error - I mentioned here - for me. Thank you WDE. It seems as if a lot of the old and very old stuff meanwhile works in ReBuzz too.
What a lot of work sits in this progress. Thank you all who still develop the Buzz-Stuff, esp. thx to Frank for developing the VST-loader and for testing all this VST-Effect and VSTi-Synth-stuff, pretty cool. You are all just

Going to second this RE PeerCtrl. Something similar or that machine working would really be the key to me committing to starting to write in ReBuzz now it seems stable enough.

How tricky would it be to integrate a way of writing out midi control mappings to a xml or something so I could create a map of all the BCR 2000 controls I have and be confident that whatever updates happen with ReBuzz in future I could import it in and not have to remap the whole lot again?

Managed machine rewrite of BTDSys-PeerCtrl enitrely using Claude . Took about 6 hours with various bits of testing. I'm reasonably certain it does everything it needs to but any suggestions for improvement or bugs appreciated.

Super tiny request: Would it be possible for the screen size & position to be saved and then restored on next launch, as Buzz does?

Ha, yeah. I'm hoping someone else will fix that soon or I'll have to try doing it myself.

Also any chance of tweaking the loading pictures so they're less 'Polar bear playing a melted sax in front of a 'Dar'' and 'Camel/Horse playing a keyboard with the most complicated white and black note placement'

Joking aside, perhaps maybe a tweak in the verbosity of the loading text so rather than it looking like it's frozen on the 'So many instruments' text (especially if you're chosen to wipe the pvst list on install) it actually displays exactly what it's scanning

My flirtation with writing managed machines for ReBuzz has consumed way too much of my spare time the last few weeks but the result is 36 and counting machines, mostly all tested for reliability with dlls (and presets sometimes) up as releases at

https://github.com/thepedal?tab=repositories

Attached zip has them all in at the stage they are currently. I can't guarantee they won't change and if params get added then you'll have to use ReBuzz's exclude machine (gear.xml) to take it out, load the song with it missing, delete it then include it again. Many of them will definitely not be changing to that degree in the future though.

Hope someone else enjoys using them!

Really excited about Pedal Tracker. I've been hanging out for a 64 bit tracker in buzz. I think I will make the full switch to rebuzz now. I use unwieldy tracker (2 or 3 - can;t remember) in Buzz, but this will be great.

Does it have multiple outs for different channels?

Posted: **Wed May 27, 2026 11:44 pm**

Yes multi out is there! Just be aware that ReBuzz is a bit of a moving tagret right now and machines may need to be tweaked to accomodate future changes. ReBuzz now has disable machine loading in gear.xml though, if you need to strip out a machine which does not load because of changes.

Is there an alternative to using Groove 1? I love me some swing, and I especially love that Buzz can do adjustable 8th swing and 16th swing both at the same time to create fun, wonky rhythms, so if there's a way (other than automating tempo) to do that in ReBuzz too, that would be awesome and I'd love to know how.

EDIT: I see now in the latest update that a groove thing has been added. Nice. It does completely mess up the BPM, but it's certainly better than nothing and I love the idea of being able to set individual steps. I guess the reason why it screws with the tempo is because it's shortening steps without compensating for it, as opposed to delaying steps.

yeah the original idea was that it just adjusts the relative times between the ticks (the groove pattern) but the tempo stays the same. the groove pattern can have any length (not just 16 or so) for even weirder grooves.

Can't find a thread here so it was probably posted in the Church but I made a groove thing ages ago. Don't know if it works with ReBuzz though...

IX Get It Swing v1.1a

You can really mangle the beat with it.

the api is extremely simple:

Code: Select all

void mi::Tick()
{
	if (gval.swing8th != paraSwing8th.NoValue) swing8th = gval.swing8th;
	if (gval.swing16th != paraSwing16th.NoValue) swing16th = gval.swing16th;

	if (gval.trigger == SWITCH_ON)
	{
		float s8 = 1.0f + swing8th * 2.0f / 127.0f;
		float s16 = 1.0f + swing16th * 2.0f / 127.0f;

		float groove[4] = { s8 * s16, s8, s16, 1 };
		pCB->SetGroovePattern(groove, 4);
	}
	else if (gval.trigger == SWITCH_OFF)
	{
		pCB->SetGroovePattern(NULL, 0);
	}
}

the host has to normalize the timings but that's all. maybe the normalization is what's missing?

I ended up writing a lot of beats with Peerchord triggering trackers because of the granular control of trigger timings it gives you but it's a dark art and you kind of need to do everything else with peerchord too if you want the groove to be there on bass, arps etc as well.

This has now been added in the version released today (v1841)
