flexible digital music composing tool, freeware, a 100% must download
fully modular system "but still" very easy to use, realtime parameter recording to playing patterns (F7), consists of machines (generators and effects), supports MME, DirectX and ASIO output devices, VST instruments and VST effect plugins
the Buzz Millenium Standard pack includes all required DLL's, selected gear (Generators and Effects) and a bunch of templates and color themes
thanx to scaldor for sending those great 3 songs (14 K), everything made with BUZZ machines - no samples used, listened to those tunes and still not in love with Buzz? Impossible.
James Holden wrote a handy tool called Buzz Groove Calculator, it calculates the tempo-commands you need to enter into the pattern to add a bit of groove/swing to your buzz tunes
for new Buzz machines check out buzzmachines.com, a collection of all available buzz machines
m2buzz 3.61 (441 K), it's a nice little tool which converts MOD, XM and MIDI-files into BUZZ-songs (BMX- or BMW-files), allows to merge 2 BUZZ songs into one, included "Transformer" allows to clone a single generator, transfers notes and volumes to a generator of a differnt type and more useful things
NEW: Buzz Millenium Packs updated to version 1.20: fixed that nasty VST loader bug that made buzz crash + the messy update procedure 1.04 to 1.1 to 1.2 beta isn't necessary anymore

NEW: IMPORTANT FOR GUS & GUS PnP users: DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS RELEASE - IT DOESN'T WORK WITH GUS!
NEW: internal revision history tells about AMD Interwave (GUS PnP) support, in fact the whole GUS handler doesn't work properly, it totally fucks up GUS memory

freeware for DOS, but there's a beta for Windows available now: AXS is a very cool multi-timbral virtual analog synth
supports SB16/AWE or GUS Classic (or both!) or saves audio to WAV file (just press TAB for session begin/end)
you can play trough the usual pc-keyboard or external MIDI device (full MIDI implementation: ALL parameters accessable via MIDI controllers)

resonant filters (lowpass, highpass, band reject + pass), pulsewidth + ring modulation, 2 LFO's/instrument, 5 LFO destinations (all very easy to handle)
distortion (yeah, we want dirt!) and delay fx (panning delay, sounds very good)
there's a nice little helper app from Frozen East Records: MakeDRM 1.0 creates DRM files using all wavs from current dir (you can specify starting note)
NEW: f****** good news for those who were not able to run the DOS-version of AXS anymore (there were sound- and graphiccard issues with newer cards): AXS 2.03++ for Windows (BETA) released (if you run screen resolutions >= 1280x1204 you can see both AXS screens at once without scrolling) as well as AXS plugin for WinAmp (BETA)

it looks like a windows-tracker, it runs (also) under win9x, but it's a DOS4GW proggy
RT doesn't want to win a feature war (no, no - doesn't has 5 effect columns) - technically spoken it is a 100% FastTracker clone (at least what I found out after playing around with it for a while)
SVGA Multi-window graphical interface, up to 1280x1024 (registerd version only)

freeware win9x/NT tracker, supports stereo samples and VST effect plugins (how to setup VST plugins in ModPlug)
the main structure is the same as known from DOS trackers: pattern view, instruments, samples, channels, main, options ...
Copy/Cut/Paste function works between different songs too, multilevel undo/redo
included is the 64 channel player engine known from modplug player with all it's features/options

very handy and nice looking freeware win9x/NT tracker in FT2 style (technically spoken), uses MIDAS soundsystem (I don't think that's a good idea to base a tracker on a 3rd party soundsystem like MIDAS ...)
loads & plays the MIDAS types: XM, S3M, MOD and IT till version 2.12, editing anything other than XM's will not work properly at the moment
consists of two main parts: the instrument editor (two different views: "event editor" as known from classic trackers and "piano roll" as known from MIDI sequencers) and the pattern editor
the final version (let's hope we'll see it some day!) will be a good candidate for a 'TOP'

interesting freeware 99-track tracker with fullscreen Protracker-like GUI, contains a sequencer, synthetizer, multi-effect processor and sample editor
it's in very early stage, that's the only reason why I didn't rate it with TOP (yet)
32-bit mixing engine (indeed GT offers superb audio quality compared to other trackers), supports Mono/Stereo, 8/16 bits memory- and direct2disk-samples, world premiere for a tracker: 24 bit mixdown, adjustable quality
up to 99 tracks, 4 types of tracks: samples (classical), effects (dsp), audio in and midi
volume, tone, panning and filter envelopes, including 2 loops, an LFO and fadeout
resonant filter per instrument, with optional velocity control, realtime DSP effects with graphical control interface, including delay and resonant filter
multiple level Undo/Redo functions (keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl + Z/Y)
about 80 commands of 4 digits, including standard FastTracker commands
sample formats: reads and saves WAV, AVR, AU and raw data
module formats: reads GT2 (native), MOD and XM, saves in GT2 format, imports Falcon Digital Tracker modules (.DTM)
renders the complete song into a WAV using a reconstruction filter for resampling (the best I ever heard!)
NEW: fixed several bugs: crashes while resizing window, Direct-2-Disk samples where not loaded when opening file by drag'n'drop, in MixDown operation, crash occured when end position was before the start position, initial track panning in .DTM module loading

25$ shareware, DOS-sound emulator for NT, works for games (Doom1&2, Heretic, Duke Nukem 2 & 3D ...) and also for trackers!
SoundFX provides a complete emulation of a SoundBlaster 16 card, for me "IT.EXE /sITSB16.MMX /m40000" worked fine (44100 Hz produced clicks)
hints from the author about using IT214 (networked) (08-Apr-99):
"I've noticed that sound breaks up when running on an Intel P200MMX using the Itsb16.mmx driver - indicative of running out of CPU time. I've tried reducing the sample rate to 22000Hz by adding the /m22000 argument to the it.exe command line and all appears OK - you can do this by creating a PIF for the program. It's probably also worthwhile setting the idle sensitivity to low in the PIF properties for the program. A PPro200 using ITSB16B.DRV requires a /m16000 argument. NB the release build of SoundFX will typically allow a 33% increase in sample rate - cheaper than a faster PC! If you restrict yourself to 8bit stereo by specifying /sITSBPRO.DRV then the release build supports the full 44kHz output rate."
FastTracker did not work for me, it was terribly slow including the sound, something obviously collides, but the author will look into this, maybe he is able to fix that, let's hope so!
NEW: complete software emulation of the Adlib FM synthesiser
NEW: all PCM sound output now uses DirectSound 3.0, for lower overhead and better digitised effects, good news for Impulse Tracker users with sample rates up to 44kHz now
NEW: MIDI input + SoundBlaster MIDI mode (non MPU401) output
NEW: joystick support in eval version too
NEW: now delays for longer after a write to the FM synth to ensure hardware timings are not violated in Win2000 which no longer delays after port writes

looks pretty coool but seems to have a problem with some gfx-cards, SDD solved it for me, but not for some other guys who never had problems with Vesa modes via SDD before
along with its ability to use ordinary samples (WAV 8 bit only) it's specialized in generating chip-sounds (draw them with mouse), features volume envelopes + filters (just test them :) ) & vibrato for the synth instruments
req. a SB compatible soundcard, no oversampling/interpolation detected, hehe, no real problem for chip-stuff obviously

freeware, tracker for the C64, similiar to PC/AMIGA-trackers (like FastTrackerII), less similiar to common C64 music-editors
it's kinda OS-independent by using a C64-emulator
you create instruments with 8 graphical envelopes (+ a vib/apr-value) instead of writing weird hex-numbers
Fasttracker-style pattern-editor
load/save instruments
filter on all 3 channels
multiple songs per file
keyboard jazzing in all modes
more than one pattern-effect per pattern-line (world premiere :) )

freeware opensource sequencer for VST instruments and VST effects - no audio, no external MIDI (yet?)
virtually unlimited number of patterns and tracks
every track can be assigned to a VSTi and a MIDI channel, so multitimbral VSTi's like Virtual Sampler are fully supported

it's *very* basic at the moment, missing feature #1 is MIDI input, to make it a VSTi host for realtime jamming
NEW: last minute addition: loop edit functions
NEW: cool splash-screen added
NEW: VSTi process() calls bug-fix
NEW: fixed VSTi multioutput plugs: Waldorf Attack works now
NEW: much less memory usage
