On this page we try to organise efforts to obtain buzzmachine sources. Please help but filling the gaps, contacting original authors, explain the benefits of publishing the sources and send us (e.g. Ensonic) the sources.

Contact Template

I am the main developer of buzztard [1] - a buzz-clone for linux that can load the original machines (well some of them). Besides loading the original windows x86 dll, we have also started porting some machines, so that they work on other systems (e.g. x86-64bit, arm) [2]. Porting is straight forward, but of course needs the original sources :)

I'd like to ask you to publish the sources of your machines. If you you are not against it as such, please let me know - please also let me know if you don't want to publish any of them. I am tracking it on our wiki and we share the sources with other buzzclones like (aldrin/buze). Otherwise others will come and ask too :)

All we'd like to have is a zip of the sources and a copyright statement (like under what license you would share this - e.g. LGPL, public domain). We do the porting, updating of docs and so on. Don't worry to be bothered a lot of questions regarding the code, if you don't want to. Of course we don't mind if you want to play a more active role as well.

Hope to hear from you,

Stefan Sauer
