Its great for people who can think musically, i.e. they compose
songs on paper without instruments. I saw o9(who is out of the
music game now i believe) compose via Buzz on the fly. He would
compose 4-5 bars at a time and then assign different instruments
and effects searching for different sounds. It was fast, brutal,
and impressive. Something i will never be able to do, but then
again my parents weren't an opera singer and composer like his
were. He was classically trained in music theory from childhood.
For some one like this a tracker is a great tool to explore ideas
quickly.
I use Buzz, but only the instruments and effects which i load into
other programs as vst plug ins. I need a visual type tracker to
aid me. I have a hard time in the old school trackers. Like you
said, for me its not intuitive, and not creative. At least thats
how i justify it!

curious what kind of creative advantage/perspective this kind of
sequencer might give over more modern sequencers, like ableton
live or logic?
is their any reason to go down this route aside from an interest
in its historical/gaming context? i know people like autechre and
whatnot claim to use them... i think maybe venetian snares too...
but i just don't see the advantage... it seems so archaic and
unintuitive to me...
thoughts?
