I haven't, but I definately mean to. I like the things that Leonard
Ritter says (e.g. being able to distribute everything together without
depending on external effects) about it, and the development seems to be
going really fast. A couple of friends of mine used to be crazy about
the original Buzz. As soon as I get some time I want to check Aldrin out.

I think that's a good idea, actually. And it's probably possible to
interface with Puredata in some other way, like Jack, right? Puredata
supports it I think, I'm just not sure about Buzz.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Best,

Chris.
