This software is a powerful set of tools useful to anybody who uses Jeskola Buzz for creating music. It can also be useful to people who use other trackers. Please read this manual completely - otherwise you might not know all the functions and features of this software. YABuzzTools consists of several parts, each one is in it's own tabsheet:

 Machine Tools 11-Rhythm Gate - for 'visually' creating rhythm pattern for this great effect which is very useful in producing trance music.
Rate/Frequency (Oscilators) - useful for working with oscilator - for example: if you want to know what value you have to set oscilator rate to if you want that this cycle repeats every 15 seconds, you just have to enter 15 seconds into text box and you get the desired value in Hz.
 Scales Transposing scales from one to another - ex. from C-major to e-minor
 TPB Very useful if you work with TPB (Ticks Per Beat) other than 4, 8, 16 or 32. You select TPB and you are shown how should classic techno 4x4 rhythm pattern look like and also you can enter notes in their 'musician' value: 1/1, 1/2, 1/4 etc. and you are shown where to put these notes in patter editor.
 Theme Editor Currently the best and only complete Buzz theme editor - you can change every color that can be changed in Buzz this way and you can do it by clicking on the GUI element you want to change color. The navigation is just like in Buzz! Even if you're not interested in making (or changing) themes you should check out this editor!
 Options Some options you may wish to change:
Theme (Colors) - you can choose which theme this software will internally use when displaying patterns or some values (default is Current Buzz Theme which means that patterns in YABuzzTools will look exactly like patterns in Buzz).
Stay on Top (Recomended) - it's useful that window of this software is on top of all other windows (especially Buzz window) so you can type values/notes into buzz patterns while looking at them in YABuzzTools.

If you like this software please send me an e-mail! You can just write: 'I like your program!'. Also, it would be nice from you if you would listen and maybe download my free mp3 music at www.mp3.com/SilentBeats (mainly dream/trance music, but there's also some techno and happy hardcore music).
