Connect VST/AU plugins and Bidule groups to your favourite ReWire-capable sequencer!
It`s easy to host any arrangement or layering of virtual instruments in Bidule, and connect these to a ReWi re-capable sequencer application. Bidule can even synchronize plugins with the sequencer`s tempo.
Mix multichannel audio files offline or online, for complex ambisonic / surround mixes!
Bidule can play and record multichannel audio files of up to 32 channels. 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.
Create unique textures using our spectral manipulation tools!
Transform audio in the spectral domain, with Bidule`s FFT modules. Time domain audio is split into two types of data, frequencies and magnitudes, which can be manipulated using a wide variety of spectral bidules.
