Bidule is a realtime modular creation studio aimed mainly at artists seeking a new creative environment to experiment with.
With Bidule, you create your own live music creation environment, inserting audio and midi devices, ReWire Devices, VST instruments and plugins. Patching them anyway you like, in realtime, while it plays.
In this version
New features:
