Is Oskari Tammelin still in charge of development?

Yes 2008-2016 already, recoded to be precise, by Oskari himself. The x86 version was very stable and mainly used, the x64 version rather experimental.
The new version is a stable x64 version build this year with some newly developed parts (editor etc) based on that code. The coder is WDE, a busy buzz plugin coder.

This brings me back to the days when Imageline/Fruityloops and Jeskola where at war with each other

Some days when you clicked on the Jeskola site you where sent to the Fruityloops page.

Good old trolling they did back then and the Reason that we don't have Buzz generators in FL Studio these days is because Jeskola and the Generator creators didn't like their move so they added something in their code so it would'nt work in the Buzz Loader.

My favorite generator creators where Whitenoise, Arguru (RIP), Hal-Dreamer, Polac, Jeskola and Zephod

I believe this installer just bundles Oskari's last version of Buzz 64 from 2016 with all of WDE's extensions that modify the Buzz UI (and a couple other important things like Polac's VST adapter). WDE's work has introduced a lot of UI and workflow improvements that make Buzz more like a modern DAW, though it might take some digging to figure out how to use them.

During the ~8-year period where there was no official Buzz development due to the lost source code, it was third party extensions like Overloader, the Peer controls and the VST loader that kept it useful. So Buzz's hackability has always been one of the things keeping it alive, and this is sort of a continuation of that.

Oskari seems to have moved on to other things since 2016, as far as I can tell from his posts in the Buzz forums, and some people who frequent the Buzz IRC channel seem to have indicated that this is the case. The current x64 executable is still labeled "exerimental" on the Buzz site, though lots of people have reported that it's basically stable as along as you don't rely too much on older 32 bit Buzz machines. That's always been the case however, even with the 32-bit executable. Some of those machines are over 20 years old, and it's surprising they even work at all!

Some UI pictures would have helped.

So it's not Buzz anymore.

Makes me wonder why I'd use that, if I have advanced and well-developed DAWs. And Renoise as well. @HerrFornit, do you have a suggestion?

the purpose of this thread is just to inform about the release. Personally, I prefer the outstanding workflow of Buzz, which I did not find in other DAWs. :

ReBuzz its a REWRITE build, not a new DAW.

That's good in a way, however I stopped using BUZZ when it started requiring a NET frame at all which I believe was after build 1189... The workflow never clicked with me...

However I found BUZE quite nice, It was only developed into 2014 but no NET requires & piano rolls along with vertical curve lanes are spot on with everything lining up not going to a different 'panel' and piano roll can be opened or closed... Curves can be sliders or envelopes or HEX or converted into one-another...

Does all same buzz machines or VST-VSTi, MFX MIDI Plugs, LADSPA, VAMP & Psycle plugs...

Pretty efficient too & not needing mind-numbing modern massive NET runtimes (great for slowing down your machine) or other fpr a sequencer as a tracker that's supposed to be designed for efficiency & low spec like in days past...

Installed .NET 8.0 and still didn't work. I want a refund.

I just got Buzz working, it's a nice looking host and the Polac VST loader makes it cool.
