Well, the previous opinion seems a little abused, this is typically the kind of notice that the score down to a soft one hand while the tester was unable to install it on the other , so he did not even try. in these cases, it is better s'avstenir I think.
return has our sheep: the installation is not complicated than that: an extraction, clicking buzz.exe, and rolls. Now, if it is something to keep in mind is that buzz need some experience in computer science because of its modular structure and constantly re-moved by the contributions of programmers, since buzz is freeware and that part of the code is "open source" (not quite, but that's another story).
So it's true that buzz need a little experience as notemment the setup of drivers, as was the installation of additional modules (whether commercial, new synths, etc. ....), but taking the time to read the instructions (it exists in French), faqs, if any, and without wishing to put the cart before the horse, it is within the limits of reasonableness.
I do not recommend beginners to get into the settings before complex to master the basics.
dll on the conflict, I do not know where our friend has invented, I have had NO, maybe it would look next to the machine! Sometimes a crash from time to time in the soft, frequent backup recommended, this is the modularity is a volatility of some components.
Finally, I find it very petty to go after the developers (who do that for FREE, without any compensation!) because it has not been able to install the software, it sure is not prémaché general public, but with some basic knowledge of it comes out fairly easily. of course, one must master a minimum the computer ....
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
Well, not need fat resource, buzz running like a charm on small configs. no problem with that side. yes it may become unstable when the app starts customizer, but taking a little time, and do not rajoputant superfluous element or unstable (I recommend starting with the starters poack, not big packs which may contain unstable machines ...), it was a very good app that would like the road!
OVERALL OPINION
The machines have good sound, oriented electronica. the potential for wiring, note with the console, are impressive, is remote via MIDI, including the tempo (house specialty lol). good, a detail that did not one, it's a TRACKER ... should not be afraid of feeling like making music with excel. it supports different sizes of patterns, even in the ternary complicating chti little, each parameter is of its nature and its possible values, and especially EVERYTHING is editable. it's a bit hermetic at first, but when you're in, we love it and stop it. in addition, it claims to free music for free people, using free software lol.
by giving a little trouble, you can do the same with Reason or Fruity taf, a sound quality equivalent, sometimes even higher (I think Reason is lol). Of course it's much less "affordable", but that you put your nose in it, everything becomes easier.
more, we can customize a wish, instruments, effects, soft itself, thanks to work full of developers who take the app constantly to new horizons! among the essential, I recommend the cyanphase overload, which improves the functionality of the soft (http://www.buzzformat.com/mini-dir.asp?dir=/Uploads/Overloader), the Polac vst loader, to use all free vst (including multi out!) (https://www.xlutop.com/buzz/pvstdocs/main.html), and many others, allowing the rewire, other features twelve o'clock, etc ... .
short, a very good sequencer, soft bob the builder, who is not afraid to put their hands under the hood, but offers tremendous opportunities when the mastery, and above that develops, evolves, s'adpate and offers more possibilities. no frills graphics, no frills, the functional and effective. an ideal tool for electro, coupled to a small sequencer. I think using it live soon, I'll keep you posted! but above all: Do not listen to the previous notice, test the software yourself, take time to tame it, for 0 francs is a bomb if it does not work in audio (it will take the sequencer chti ....). only one address: www.buzzmachines.com (http://www.buzzmachines.com)!
