About:
BUZZle means Buzz Logic Enhanced and has neither to to with Buzzle.com or the Buzzle-Game.

BUZZle is a free (non-commercial) modular music composing and sequencing tool. It is a completely re-written version of the famous Jeskola Buzz.


Installation:
If you obtained a version of BUZZle without an installer, just copy all files into the desired program folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\BUZZle)

BUZZle is released without any machines included. So, in order to make music you need additional instruments (called "machines" or "gear").

Users of the original Jeskola Buzz are lucky: BUZZle will detect your existing gear automatically!

If you are new to Buzz, you must first get some machines (e.g. from www.buzzmachines.com) and copy them in a folder called "Gear" inside the BUZZle program folder. Generators must be copied into a subfolder called "Generators", effect machines must be stored in a subfolder called "Effects".


Configuration:
The best (but not the easiest) way to configure BUZZle is to open the file called "buzzle_config.xml" in your favorite text editor (e.g. Notepad) and carefully tweak the options you'd like to change.
