T = time in ticks/1000 (milliticks, eg. 0001 = 0.001 tick)
% = percent (eg 0=0%, 80=100%, FE=~254%)
F = fade speed (1/32 per sample)

# Nr Name/Description Effect Parameters Parameter Description
01 Delay Trig TTTT T = Time until triggering
02 Re(peated)Trig NTTT N = Number of times to retrig
T = Time before next triggering
03 Temporary Volume Shift %%%% % = Amount of original volume
04 Volume Up (fade) FFFF F = Fade up speed
05 Volume Down (fade) FFFF F = Fade down speed
06 Temporary Pitch Shift %%%% % = Amount of original pitch
07 Pitch Up (fade) FFFF F = Fade up speed
08 Pitch Down (fade) FFFF F = Fade down speed
09 Backward / Reverse none  
0A Stop NOW none Stops sample playback on channel
0B Stop After... TTTT T = Time until samples are stopped
0C Sample Offset PPPP P = Sample to jump to (divided by 8)
0D Nudge Sample DDDD D = Samples to nudge, 0000 = -100%, 4000 = 0%, 8000 = +100%
0E Reverse Play Direction none Flips playing direction,
10 Rush NNTT N = Number of ticks to rush
T = TriggerCount*16 per Tick
21 "Dahlstr÷m 2" TTTT T = BackStep value
Samples are played as usual, after T ticks
it goes back T/2 ticks and repeats... (weird effect)

the drumkit format is pretty easy, it is simply a header telling us how many drums
there are and each drum has its own little header telling us wich class it should
go under, and then the wavedata follows in signed short (2bytes) data...
(16Bit, 44100Hz, Mono)

if you are more interested in the drumkit format, if you┤re going to write a fancy
rebirth-ripper or something, throw me an email

an AXS drumkit converter will be available on my homepage a couple of weeks after
releasing this.

if you have made your own drumkit wich you┤re going to use in a song you┤re about
to distribute, simply check the "store drumkit in song"-checkbox and the drumkit will be saved
in your buzz file, then whoever downloaded your song can simply choose "Save Drumkit" in the
menu and *kabam* he/she has the same drumkit :)

the drumkit manager dont check if the .wav file is a real wavefile it just skips the header and
stores the wavedata (wow!) so be sure your wavefiles are uncompressed 16bit mono files.

and please, try not to use too strange characters in the filename or drumkit name!

buzz MAY crash if you is loading a sample into a slot that is playing in the wavetable section...
buzz MIGHT get greedy and take all cpu, then it goes down, this bug might be fixed.
the effect parameter setup may suck, but as soon as you learn them they are quite nice...

the drumkit manager is VERY horrible to use... (save often)
be aware of PhatAss - our new synth...
