Today I was setting up my new Linux music "workstation" as I ran into a common problem:
How do I get our beloved Buzz to work on Ubuntu?

As you know until now there were mainly 3 possibilities:

1) Run Buzz/Buzé etc. in WINE. Slow as hell and not really stable.
2) Buzztard. Nice, but doesn't really have the same concept/feel as Buzz.
3) Aldrin. I loved this one until the developer decided to totally screw up the code and eventually abandon the project altogether.

BUT NOW THERE'S NEW HOPE.

Bucket Brigade decided to start a new project based on paniq's Aldrin. It's called NEIL SEQUENCER.
At the moment it's about as powerful as the old Aldrin, but of course much more stable.
So after 2 years I can finally start working on my old Aldrin tracks again.
Installing this sexy beast was lengthy but simple even for a Linux noob like myself.
So, if you are working on Linux and like Buzz, there is no reason why you shouldn't try out NEIL this very minute (and support the developer by sending bug reports and stuff).

there will be a Micromusic Get-Together in Berlin on July 30-31st.
people willing to join the lineup send me a pm.
beware though that due to the masses of artists expected we won't be able to pay for travel costs etc.

i'd definately be interested.
not sure about the choice of hard/software yet, i have a couple of ideas in mind though. i remember there was a tool that could convert dna information into midi. also i've seen a number of auto-composing softwares recently.
anyway, put me down for a track.

Some news in this version:

VRC7 & FDS support
New effect Sxx, cut note after xx frames
New effect Xxx, DPCM retrigger, xx = delay in frames
Fixed a bug that caused files with 64 instruments to not load
Fixed export bug where instruments with empty sequences caused the exported file to not work
Added an option to remove unused instruments & patterns
Load/save instrument & DPCM paths bug on Windows Vista & 7 fixed
Fixed the tracker/nsf inconcistency when note delay and speed change was used on the same row
DPCM file preview added
CTRL+click in frame editor to queue next frame (order) when playing
Copy & paste in frame editor. Ctrl+C to copy a row and Ctrl+V to paste
Added the note release command, setup a key in the settings window. The release-part of sequences is defined by a '/' in the sequence string (or right click in the loop-setting-part of the sequence editor).
Vibrato is now bending both up and down. The old style is still selectable to maintain compability with older files. (not completely done yet)
Fixed a bug that caused noise to skip a frame in some conditions

A more complete list of changes is included. The help files are not updated, but I'll release this as the next version once those are done.

Most things are supposed to work now, except for VRC7 pitch bends which does not work as supposed and not at all in exported NSFs. I still need to find a good way to do it on the OPLL chip. The old style vibrato needs some tweaking before it sounds exactly like before.
If you find any other problems, please post them here so I can fix it before the stable release. Thanks!
