Re: [microsound] BUZZ tracker

[Brian Redfern <bredfern@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's not much mac freeware like buzz that I could think of, but
Reacktor for the mac is really more stable than buzz and can do everything
buzz does. There's nothing quite like buzz in a way, a very cool but often
unstable program. The problem with the mac is that most of the software is
too expensive, though linux software is slowly but surely migrating to the
mac. Protools won't run on mac osx, which is why apple bought emagic, to
make a replacement. There's Samplecell for the mac which will let you load
in yoru own samples as instruments and then you can sequence sample cell
from a sequencer like digital performer. I used to sequence with vision on
mac os 7.0 but now use only linux cause I'm a cheap bastardo.
