Well, no wonder BUZZ's patterns and the sequencer go from top to bottom -
after all, it's a very beefed up tracker; just take a look at FastTracker 2,
ScreamTracker or Impulse Tracker - all of them look somewhat similar... =)
(And this is not to dis Buzz - hell, it's a freeware project -okay, with
optional registration to make you feel all warm & fuzzy ^_^- with quite a lot
of people hacking together generators and effects... hey, I use it almost
exclusively right now! :)
