Yep with the new polac adapter it is extremly stable

I got the impression VST implementation never really settled - I'm not sure I'd be able to drop my WaldorfAttack and use the multi-outs, for example.
Whereas Logic/Live/Bidule are all happy to comply.
Well... Polac Adapters do much more than these, and the "new" Ld Mixer gives Buzz extended power.
There's still a lot of plugins developed for buzz that for the moment are not available for free on some hosts.
In fact, there are some plugins that only exist in Buzz.

Thanks for your replies.

Yes, vst implementation in buzz is now excellent. I use mostly vsts and vstis with some choice buzz effects. Some buzz generators are great too. Mostly I like the routing, and it is very quick to get started with a new track, so much so that when I try another host I find it very frustrating. But while writing patterns is fine for chords, simple melodies and basslines, complex or lengthy melodies can be difficult if you want to input midi with a keyboard.

How many people here are using buzz? Seems like quite a few. I thought buzzle would be useful but it is taking a long time....
I will check out aodix and renoise, and take another look at xt. What about psycle?

BTW anyone use xt inside buzz?

I'll be a happy little bunny as soon as I can use Buzz as a VST..
Buzz as VST, why would you need that for ?
Just work the other way around, load VSTi in Buzz :)

Yeah, but it would be great to be able to use all of those wild Buzz effects as VST's outside of Buzz in a different host.

yeah i know. I used to just spend days making noises in Buzz and then just sample it and play it all with battery or halion or something like that. Sadly, I'm gettin a Mac soon and i prob won't go near my pc for a while. And I haven't turned to Buzz in a few years. oh well.

...there's always the possibility to use a second PC with BUZZ, and redirecting the signal through "live inputs" to any other hosts (and tweaking track delays to fit timing)...
For example... Logic controlling Buzz... at least, Buzz works with minimal PC setups (a P200 can play almost all those Scaldor "demos", and there's always the posibility to work @88,2/96kHz with newer setups)
