BTDSys PeerLFO as groove machine
By adjusting phase track parameter in a multitrack PeerLFO
you can create a lot of sort of multi sequencer, drum machines
(BTDSys PeerLFO had 256 tracks!)
in this bmx, i use peer control like a groove editor, open it ("rythme")and maximize window, now make your own groove (or melody by opening "notes").
added zip with some small demos
demo sound for HD PercFM
differents speed at the same time (Tik_tak_tok)
some chords with peercontrol

try presets by selecting them in peerstate renamed "patternz_bank"
it is a player demo 2004-12-06 by tinga (Voted 5 for this review!) |

Yep, I love the sound. The narrow delay, comb, thing you have going is very well made.
What I don't understand is: why use 22 LFO's to program a beat? The same thing could be done in samplegrid with less effort.
Naturally applying some kind of dogma to the workflow can be a creativity trigger, but isn't this peer thing getting a bit out of hand?
I would appreciate it more if the beat was somehow generative, evolving. Check out the drummachine called "box" - a synth-edit thing at this url: http://www.xoxos.net/vsti.html
it's really unstoppable :-]

| cool stuff tinga, i usually do something very similar to this in my peer tracks, but more evolving. ohm: the building blocks are there.. the beat could be turned into a generative one in a matter of seconds. 2004-12-08 by mute (Voted 9 for this review!) |

this template is an old_school step sequencer, and very easy to use for me:
i have a pattern editor with the machine's window , just have to move slider
for selecting notes (tools peerctrl can adjust all notes to a fixed position)
you can create all groove and natural sound with absolute liberty in a 32 tpb resolution
with the rythme editor (rate of the lfo determine nb of ticks in the pattern), also chords
(all the phase track at same position), just move slider in full screen.
and many great quality soundz effect (in max ticks resolution of course)
hope these sorts of templates could be useful for other than me!
great thx for feedback ! 2004-12-08 by tinga (Voted 5 for this review!) |

| tinga voodoo ! great generative soundscapes u create 2004-12-09 by noolout (Voted 10 for this review!) |

c'mon nool - everything made in buzz could be turned into something generative - that still doesn't change the fact that this LFO step sequencer is very complicated to set up and use - just try reprogramming it to a different beat - what LFO is controlling what sound? not very obvious and difficult to figure out.
and noolout: it's not a generative piece - it's an old skool step sequencer alright. And I do find it inspiring - trying to position a drum hit using a percentage can lead to interesting results.
I just don't seem to credit the peer-voodoo as much as the next guy.
Let this be a challenge to all you peer fanatics: try reprogramming the beat in the tinga_rap1 bmx and upload the results :-]

ohm: you're missing the whole point ;) Who says reviews have to demonstrate the easiest and most obvious way of doing things? The genius of tinga's reviews is they show us what is possible using only a limited subset of Buzz's functionality. And yes, it's hard work and it's probably not something any sane person would try every day. But if you ignore the less obvious methods, you miss the opportunity to expand your "box of tricks", and you also miss out on the new possibilities they open up.
OK, I'm biased because most of the machines on show here are mine, and I think tinga's a great guy so I won't hear a word said against him. But I think my point is still valid.
So to answer your question: "why use 22 LFO's to program a beat?" Because you CAN! Because it's a challenge! And because, after you've done it, you'll never look at programming a beat in quite the same way again.
