Like I said, I load Bidule as an VST effect on the audio channel and connect the incomming audio signal to OVox and the OVox MIDI output to my Internal MIDI.
The MIDI device is called "Internal MIDI" in my case.
You can download free virtual MIDI cables here or here You can add MIDI input and output nodes on the canvas and connect them to any DAW on your computer. The following chain uses a MIDI output node. You can load the paid version of Bidule as a VST effect plugin your audio track in ACID. Then I connected the output of the synth to a limiter (for safety reasons) and then to the audio device output. Then I linked the outputs of the player to the inputs of OVox and the MIDI output of OVox to the MIDI inpute of a uHe Diva synth. To save your ears from damage you should add a limiter before the output!įor example, I added my Focusrite USB Audio device as an input and output but loaded a soundfile inside an Audio File Player. Then add OVox, then add a VST synth and then add your output device. You can then add audio inputs and outputs and your VST effects and instruments with a right click on the canvas.Ĭreate a chain with your audio device (you can also add just an audio file player with Right Click > Audio File > Player as an input). You start the standalone version and add and scan your VST paths under Edit > Preferences > VST.
You can only test the standalone version but it is enough to learn how it works.įirst you must install Bidule and set up it preferences. This is a excellent program and plugin that can host other plugins and you can build plugin chains and route them inside it like you want. I would suggest you try the free standalone demo of this program. It looks like the audio tracks don't have a MIDI out option.
Bidule can even synchronize plugins with the sequencer’s tempo.I don't think that this is possible in ACID. It’s easy to host any arrangement or layering of virtual instruments in Bidule, and connect these to a ReWire-capable sequencer application. Bidule comes with a great selection of pre-made groups: effects, synthesizers, stochastic MIDI note generators, and more! The online group catalogue (available inside the application itself) allows you to browse through a list of free groups for downloading, created by none other than the Bidule community themselves!Ĭonnect VST/AU plugins and Bidule groups to your favourite ReWire-capable sequencer A group can exist either within a particular Bidule file, or you can save it as an independent file to share with other Bidule users. Save Bidule constructs as groups for later re-useĪny collection of bidules together in a layout can be saved as a bidule “group”.
These files can be manipulated in real-time (with multichannel audio hardware), or you can use Bidule’s offline mode to render ambisonic audio files at much faster speeds. Mix multichannel audio files offline or online, for complex ambisonic / surround mixesīidule can play and record multichannel audio files of up to 32 channels. Time domain audio is split into two types of data, frequencies and magnitudes, which can be manipulated using a wide variety of spectral bidules. Transform audio in the spectral domain, with Bidule’s FFT modules. Les modules de bas niveau de Bidule peuvent être joints pour programmer des instruments et effets uniques.Ĭreate unique textures using our spectral manipulation tools Utilisez les modules DSP pour créer vos propres outils. The new paradigm of computer audio can be summed up in two words: “real-time” and “modular” – both of which are embodied by one application… As he performs, a musician decides to add an LFO to a synth’s filter cutoff knob, where no LFO existed before. It gets better: A sound is broken down into 256 individual bands, then each is tweaked one at a time in a unique way. Old hat, right? Now, imagine this: the same single output socket sprouting no less than eight different cables connecting eight different effects. Elsewhere, a MIDI cable links a MIDI input to a synthesizer, which is in turn connected to a mixer. More cables connect the effect to a mixer. Is this a familiar picture? Cables lead from a microphone input into a small digital effect. The brainchild of Plogue Art et Technologie is a cross-platform application that is gaining recognition world-wide as the new standard in modular music software.īidule is used by thousands of musicians worldwide Bidulists from the all over the world have gathered on the forums at the Plogue Web site to get their questions about Bidule answered, as well as share their music and Bidule inventions.
