No global PDC of course since it is a realtime environment, so if you're doing parallel processing try to stick with either 0 latency plugins or do some manual correction.Īlso since there's no single global tempo, you can do everything tempo-wise from a single tempo assigned to each object (that needs it) to freewheeling multiple tempos at once (including syncing something to external midi clock or even multiple external clocks.) Only 1 tempo per object (vst, vsti or bidule module.) Midi recording is very bare and you'll either want to sequence with the step sequencers or edit midi externally (if you're looping midi in Bidule) but there are other workflows I think are better for that (more below.) The same more or less applies to audio, though it can of course record & playback via multiple different modules. It makes a great 'live' instrument host with a lot of creative potential. So what do you think? I'm open to similar kind of products, considering that it's in a same price category with the bidule.īidule has a fair amount of low-level audio & midi processing modules, it's quite nice in that respect. My, until now, way of working has been sequencing hardware from the computer and mixing(with a motu 828 mk II card) and (most important) altering my sound with twisted vst plugins. I'm mostly into IDM-electronica-experimental kind of stuff, and I have abandoned soft synths for a long time for the sake of my waldorf uQ and Electribe SX.

I understand that is not a DAW in the traditional sense but has anyone been using it like that and has to say anything about restrictions compared to the most common DAWs?

I was always been thinking that I needed a more modular approach to the basic DAW software I would be using.

I have installed the trial and it seems quite light and also easy to learn.

Over one hundred modules and groups come with the software, including modules that can perform high-level math on signals.I have made another post about Bidule in another category but it seem to get much attention so I thought that I will get some answers in this one. Parameters can be linked to MIDI or OSC input or to other module parameters. Bidule can use multithread processing, and there is a beta build for discrete processing. ASIO/CoreAudio is supported for low latency audio. Bidule can run standalone or as a VST, VSTi or AU plugin, and can host the same. With other audio DAW software ReWire, Bidule can run as a ReWire mixer or device. The program features real time audio, MIDI, Open Sound Control (OSC), and spectral processing. A set of bidules and connections is called a layout, and sub-patches called groups can be built within layouts and saved for use elsewhere. Individual modules are called bidules (the Plogue web site states that the word 'Bidule' is French for 'thingy' or 'gadget').

īidule uses a modular structure based on a patch cord metaphor much like AudioMulch, Reaktor, Pure Data, and Max/MSP. It runs on both Windows and Mac computers. Bidule is a commercial software application for the creation of interactive computer music and multimedia produced by the Canadian company Plogue Arts and Technology.
