I awoke this morning (EST) to find…
— Build 1119 - Sunday, 19 July 2009 13:32:00 UTC - pattern xp: bugfixes
— Build 1118 - Sunday, 19 July 2009 08:34:31 UTC - pattern xp: bugfixes
— Build 1117 - Sunday, 19 July 2009 06:42:48 UTC - enabled xp themes. unfortunately i couldn’t figure out an easy way to make this optional. - send midi messages to pattern editor machine instead of the machine itself when in pattern editor - pattern xp: midi edit mode - pattern xp: bugfixes
I forget where I originally downloaded this from, I got it some time in the 90’s. Though the 909 kit isn’t the most dynamic sounding kit out there, it’s often been a good starting point for many tunes that I’ve worked on. Here’s the message from the text file included in the pack:
Since it’s admittance into the world of music, the Roland TR-909 has been
one of the most sought after drum machines in existence. Every dance,
techno, and hip-hop artist desperately searches for the “magic box”, only
to find the 909. Yet, this box is highly coveted by those who worship its
demonic powers. Many have tried to obtain this box through large sums of
money, deceit, and ultimately theft.
In order to curve the population’s insatiable thirst for the 909, I have
created a ‘complete’ 909 sample set. I’ll be surprised if you can tell the
difference.
For purists, this sample set will not totally replace a real 909. The 909
sequencer is really natural for many dance and hip-hop artists. But
in terms of sound quality, this set accurately reproduces the various
instrument settings on the 909. In other words, it is the next best
thing to a real 909. How many drum machines in the store have a five meg
909 sample set?
I hope you find this set useful. Please feel free to copy or distribute
the set in any way. Please DO NOT change samples, add samples,
delete samples, or modify this text file in any way. Respect the work.
This sample set is FREE. You may not distribute these samples for
profit!! If you have any comments please feel free to email me.
Or, if you create a cool tune using the samples feel free to send me a
tape or dat. Have fun!

As a reader pointed out…
"the sample packs referred to in the above article originate from here: hyperreal.org http://machines.hyperreal.org/manufacturers/Roland/TR-909/samples/ while you're at it, you could also point out these two packs: http://machines.hyperreal.org/manufacturers/Roland/TR-808/samples/ http://machines.hyperreal.org/manufacturers/Roland/CompuRhythm/ cheers groovelastig / buzzchurch"
Here’s a nice little buzz Demo Video I ran across. Check out this artist’s website at http://www.hamsteralliance.com
I felt like this wasn’t getting enough attention. There are new builds of everyone’s favorite tracker machine, Matilde Tracker2. You can download the latest version linked below.

I thought it would be useful to start posting tutorial videos on buzz. So, submit your youtube link, or any embed-able video; and I will post them here.
Overloader for New Buzz can be gotten here. Gave this a try and it froze Buzz upon opening. A quick search over at Buzzchurch and I found Cyanphase’s advice of renaming buzz/gear/waveditors/keybroll.dll to keybroll.dxx. Works like a charm now. Go check it out.
From the Buzztard team…
“The buzztard team has released version 0.4.0 “the light in your eyes” of its
buzz-alike music composer. All modules got extensive improvements over the last
release from a half year ago. It is usable now and fun to play with. Give it a
try and report bugs.
bml
——————————————————————————–
Major addition is wavetable support for tracker plugins. Besides that the new
release improves buzzmachine compatibility, performance and has a better build
setup.
bsl
——————————————————————————–
Major addition is wavetable support. Several bug fixes and build system
cleanups.
buzztard
——————————————————————————–
As planned, main focus for this release was the wavetable support. Its done -
buzztard can load what gstreamer can decode. The wavetable view has a nice
waveform widget. Related to that buzztard has a new song-format that bundles the
XML together with external files in a zip archive.
Also the UI has seen a lot of improvements. The machine view looks nicer - Marc
drew spiffy machine icons. In addition they now show real volume meters when
playing. All meters are now properly synced.
gst-buzztard
——————————————————————————–
API renaming to cleanup gst namespace usage. Now includes former gstbml module.

Just getting around to posting this. Here’s the latest version of Buze…
From official Buze Site
“Summary of changes: More complete undo/redo. Native event- and MIDI-connections. Feedback loops. Includes ca 20 new Lunar and native/MIDI plugins. Overall enhanced MIDI support. Improved native recorder and streaming plugins. Can load/preview a bunch of new sample formats via sndfile, e.g FLAC, IFF, VOC. Pattern editors can be duplicated and linked. The machine view can move/align machines w/keyboard, added new “Smart delete” function and other context menu options. The wave editor supports copy/paste, and the context menu works.
Contributors to this release were Calvin, Hmaon, Ld0d, Syncat, Zeffii and Zoner.”
Site’s been on hiatus due to a huge amount of spam; and my lack of time and energy for sorting through it. I’ve cleaned everything up. From now on, only registered users can post comments.
This is a major update. Highlights: Pattern editor was completely rewritten. Supports hidable columns, togglable column editors and drag/drop of pattern selections. The keyjazzing feature has been enhanced and extended to the parameter view, wavetable and file browser. MIDI in is more responsive, a native MIDI tracker is included. Improved support for non-16 bit samples in the wavetable. Special thanks to Zoner for a bunch of fixes and new features!
“I’ve just finished setting up a small repository containing up to date packages of Aldrin and Libzzub (as well as source packages) for Debian testing and Ubuntu Feisty.
Those are not official builds but developement snapshots - so use at your own risk
For bug report or information about the software itself, please refer to the developement sites:
http://trac.zeitherrschaft.org/aldrin/
http://trac.zeitherrschaft.org/zzub/wiki/
or have a look on IRC, irc.freenode.net, #aldrin.
How to use:
Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list to enable the repository and refresh.
deb-src line is for source packages and is not required unless you want to build your own packages, or check what’s inside.
For Debian testing:
deb http://www.pohunek.free.fr/aldrin-nightly-builds/debian/testing/ binary/
deb-src http://www.pohunek.free.fr/aldrin-nightly-builds/debian/testing/ source/
For Ubuntu Feisty:
deb http://www.pohunek.free.fr/aldrin-nightly-builds/ubuntu/feisty/ binary/
deb-src http://www.pohunek.free.fr/aldrin-nightly-builds/ubuntu/feisty/ source/
Or download manually the packages :
http://www.pohunek.free.fr/aldrin-nightly-builds“
From the Buze Site:
“Again, a release with many small fixes and updates everywhere. CPU-meter works. Added a basic crash dialog. Global and pattern toolbars can be disabled. Smaller, faster and tabbable parameter view sliders. Pattern editor optimizations. Support for rewirelink and machines using jump and mute hacks. Also included are native Psycle and Ladspa plugin wrappers contributed by Polac.”
Get buze-0.4.9.zip.
Missed the boat a little bit on this one, but better late than never…
” This is a machine for setting up looping sections in Buzz and jumping between them. It’s especially useful for live shows, as you can pre-program into it your song structure, and jump out of each section manually when you’re ready to go onto the next. With a bit of simple programming, you can also set it up so that you can jump out at *different* points other than just the loop end; for instance, into a fill/transition to another part.
Check out the included ChainHACK demo.bmx if you want to see what it can do - just use the Enable Jump parameter to jump at different points in the song. Depending on where in the loop you use the Enable Jump, you can jump to different parts.”
“I did some source code “hygiene” so that BUZZle can now be compiled using Delphi and/or FreePascal. Delphi simply compiles faster and time is money as we all know * To solve the everlasting problem of “which GUI should I use?” I started coding a thing called “G2UI” - it’s a General Graphical User Interface library that will allow the BUZZle GUI to be interpreted in different ways * Currently Windows-GDI and Text mode TurboVision are being implemented. OpenGL/DirectX, GTK, HTML/AJAX are planned”
From Buzzchurch:
” I made a little filter tool, a Butterworth filter switchable between highpass or lopass. Roll off can be changed from 6db/octave up to 120 db/octave.
This machine is assembly optimysed, thus very fast.”
My apologies for not posting this sooner.
From Arguru’s Site
“04-June-2007 - Zaf : It is with much sadness that I heard about Argu’s death in a car accident yesterday. Argu was the creator of Aodix. We were partners on the Aodix project, and friends. Despite the huge pain, let’s not forget that he left to us many, many good things to remember him. Rest In Peace Bro. I won’t forget you.”
Arguru developed a lot of machines for Buzz, VST Plugins and audio applications.
Finally some more good news; Buze .4.8 has been released. Here’s a short rundown of the updates from the official Buze site:
“A zillion minor fixes and updates in the user interface. Improved context menus, help view, more hotkeys. Workflow improvements contributed by Halfo. Improved support for several newer machines, including ld mixer, Polac Out, Fuzzpilz Inp and Utrk.”
