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!

——————————————————————————–
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.
