Creative Sound - But I Am a Lazy Buzzer
Ok so you are tired of using the same old sounds, so here are some methods for new ones
-----
1) The Preset Factory in Polac VST

create new sounds in 3 ways:
Morphing:
Takes preset A, B and linearly blend between both.
"ALL" will really just do the blend-job, but there is MUCH more. "Selected" will only touch the parameters which are selected in the parameter list (F3). "Not selected" does the same with all non-selected parameters. "Learned" only affects the vst parameters that have been assigned to buzz parameters. "Not learned" vice versa.
Genetics ("Breed"):
Determines the amount of vst parameters that will be taken from both presets. It doesn't change the preset unless you press the "Breed!" button. Once it's pressed, it takes the specified amount of (random!) vst parameters to create a new sound. Of course, you can point out which parameters may be used for this procedure using the Mode as in the morphing.
Randomize:
Good old-fashioned patch randomizing. You can specify the amount of randomization by enabling the % range. The Mode is enabled for usage with randomizing as stated above. This rules.
Try all three methods and assign different params in the f3 old style vst parameter listing by clicking on the param numbers :)

2) Applying something similar to all other buzz gens, in the download you will find a infector_preset_maker.bmx
Here the idea is to keep certain parameters constant with a pattern while randomizing others (by hitting random in the param view)
The point is to press stop at some point when u like the params and just paste them into a pattern
and remove the patterns that are there
The peerlfo's serve to keep the infector's osc params from getting into unassigned territory

3) How about some peerstate for subtle param alterations ? At very small parameter movements, you can keep sound lively and more organic

4)
Peerchord/Mc1/Chorwizard/m2buzz (reimportable modular sequencing - external bmx/sequence manipulation - Chordwizard has its own step sequencer and way more)
+
Presets
+
Synthesis Templates - try these !!
+
Automation Templates (which is possible with Peer Env, Cntrl, State, etc)
=
Pretty Good Quick Creative Power, way different than 'conventional' buzz use

5) You will also find Ultimate_Drumloop_Chopper.bmx in the download
Just took a drumloop put it through some parallel differientiating eq/efx
Things you should try -
Hitting stop and then pressing play again, it is different everytime because of the non-reset by dedacode's awesome effects :)
Changing out the effects, try rIDMa or luzzpilz lepidopterist instead - and then use peerlfo to automate that machines's params
Changing out the sample in the wavtable to your favorite loop
Sample this with cng recorder or such for nondynamic results

6) so many more i missed
BuzzFAQ
Buzz 2004 isn't just about buzz.exe, its about using what machines/utils/methods you have, just better
