About the Machine Editor

The Machine Editor is the musical "workbench" of Buzz. To access the Machine Editor press F3 from anywhere within Buzz, or select the Machine Editor Icon from the toolbar. It is in essence your "software studio". A good analogy would be to consider it a huge empty rack, waiting to be loaded with gear. In Buzz, each piece of gear referred to as a machine. Once machines are added to the Machine Editor, you may connect (route) them in any way you want. The final output is always routed to the Master Machine in order to produce output to your audio card. Machines appear as follows: (colors may vary)

The color of each machine indicates its type. In this case, the blue indicates a Generator, the red indicates an Effect, and the tan indicates the Master.
