Rout SoundFont(R) Loader
What is it ?
This is a plugin to use with Buzz. It allows you to load a SoundFont(R) into buzz and to use its instruments. It doesn't support all the features of the SoundFont 2.0 specification. In fact, it only supports volume envelope, loop points and multi-layering of instruments. See for yourself.
Your soundfonts will not sound as richer as if they were played directly from your SB Live (or any soundfont compatible sound card). Some soundfonts will sound good and some will suck. To improve their sound, I suggest using a reverb machine or a delay machine.
It is possible to access drumkits from a soundfont. Just select Bank 128.
This is a stereo generator. So you need Buzz version 1.2 to use it.
Thanks goes to Ninereeds and Jeskola who helped me on this project.

Distortion
version 1.0
What is it ?
This is a distortion machine for Buzz.
It maps the input signal to a distorted output signal. The transfer map is precomputed once the DLL is loaded, so this algorithm is very fast. The precomputation is more complex. The input signal is first transfered to logarithmic domain (dB) and there three different distortion functions are applied. Distortion algorithm A and C are non-linear functions, type B works similar to a compressor. Every algorithm has a parameter to tweak, leading to 10 different shapes for each distortion type.
History
version 1.0 (01.11.99)
First release. Features 3
distortion types (A, B and C) and 10 different 'colors' for each
type.

Rout Splitter
It simply converts mono signal to stereo signal. You know, sometimes you want to use a slightly different filter combination on each channel... Now, this machine does the split, quick and clean.

Rout Vibrato
This is a vibrato machine for Buzz. It does not perform a real vibrato effect since it does not pitch-shift the sound using Fourier Transforms but only plays it faster and slower in a cycle. It's an interesting effect on synths and sustained sounds.
