FAQ

Are old Buzz machines supported?
Although the focus is on modern instruments (VST) many of the old machines should work. With the exception of machines that access wavetable (trackers).

Can I use native editor machines (PatternXP)?
Only managed editor machines are currently supported.

How can I help?

Great news!!!!
Is it working with buzz machines ?
Thanks a lot

Hi!

Wow, a new version of ReBuzz today ... and even If it was late when I discovered it, I checked out the ReBuzz AudioIn with some Live-Setup and for me it worked very, very well with the WASAPI Driver, very low latency and a very clean and powerful sound, even if the "shitty' Wah in Freeamp 3.6 still sounds like crap ... I like the Audio In so far ... and now again: "Goodnight sleep tight and don't let the Bedbugs bite" ...

Well, Mag, I think you still need a computer to get it to work ...

Hi, is there a way to help? I don't know much about audio programming but I have some C# knowledge (been a web backend dev for 10+years), so maybe I could help with some debugging or sth? Is there a proper way to provide feedback (this thread?)? Any other way we can help out?

it works with 64 bit buzz machines and some 32 bit ones.

i started to test the old 32 bit machines on a build about 6 months ago to see which ones worked, and i was making a spreadsheet with the results. afaik quite a lot of the adapter/engine has changed since then, so i'll go back and retest what i had done already and open up the spreadsheet so other people can help. iirc one of the issues was with accessing the wavetable, as that part of the rewrite hadn't been done yet, but a surprising amount of 32 bit machines were working.

Great Job!

...and huge thanks for Your effort.
It would be nice to have some list what's integrated in it and which version. I'm not thinking every machine but these crucial like Modern Pattern Editor etc. You know - release info.
It will be helpful in situations when some elements got an update (or to know what's already in it and what's not). Unless You planning too keep its always updated. After all, it is you who created most of UI modifiers and extenders

I've tried it and it works fine for me. In earlier version there was some lags when using VSTs (Polac updated his VST wrapper too) and now its all working fine.

Again. Thanks for Your effort and time.

Amazing stuff. 25 years after I first installed Buzz and still getting completely new things!

Looking forward to the tracker implementation

• Extend tracker machines so that they implement their own internal loading/storage for samples.
• Reimplement tracker machine in C#

Can I use native editor machines (PatternXP)?
Only managed editor machines are currently supported.

Is ReBuzz going to be open source?
If there is enough developer interest, then yes.

How can I help?

thanx for your giant effort @WDE.

Just checked your link and well, rather the reason
Thanx!

Is there any help needed anymore?

btw, let me know when the native part (buzzengine32/64?) is open source, i'd like to make some changes and extend machineinterface.h

Hi Buzz people,

Am I right if I said there is actually 3 versions of Buzz ?

- The good old 32 bits version release, kind of useful and "official" version.
- The 64 bits version called Buzz Setup x64 2022 Edition.
- And now the ReBuzzSetup_2024_Preview.

Is the ReBuzzSetup_2024_Preview the sequel of Buzz Setup x64 2022 Edition ? Or is it a different way for Buzz future ?

Thanks!!

i'd say it (rebuzz) is a new fork of buzz and most likely the future of buzz, as there hasn't been any work on "old new buzz" since 2016 and from what i understand there won't be anymore work done there.

i hope that one day the whole code base is open sourced so that we can move on and improve things in machineinterface.h, nothing too radical, but things like support for 32bit / 64bit parameters would be a start for example. mapping 16 bit parameters to 64bit vst / clap parameters sucks ass.

I mean, that's what it tries to achieve, no?

new version!

The new version didn't work for me :-/

When adding VSTs, the first one crashes and adding the second one displays the following message:

Maybe I should delete some files first? I'll try to delete the Polac vst cache, maybe a full rescan will help.

Wow, a new Version available right now with nice "Gimmicks", you'll see , and very fast loading of all plugins ... lower buffersizes (by default) for Rebuzz AudioIn, new theme related stuff (If I'm right), ... and a lot of other thingys I have to check out ...
Thx to WDE, Oskari, Polac, Joachip and all the others who are envolved ...
