![]() ![]() Also in most other "Buchla Bongo" patches its pretty random all the time, instead I used Trigger Dividers to take advantage of Bidules Mutate and Random buttons, to vary the rhythm and pattern every few bars instead of every single note. Some of the changes that only Bidule can do really easily, is how the oscillators frequency is modulating its own frequency, doing this in something like Pure Data/ Max MSP is difficult and will never be implemented properly. I dont know how much synthesis you do, so not trying to be condescending in the comments I made on the patch. This is my "Buchla Bongo" patch with a few modifications Bidule lends itself to extremely well. You can watch videos online for days of people making similiar sounds on analog gear, as its kind of a signature sound of the genre. Its actually a goto patch for a lot of analog modular users called "the buchla bongo" patch. ReaJS is a wrapper for reaper's JS fx, which are open source and easy to edit, and contain rare and interesting midi altering fx.Īs requested, here is a pic of one of my "goto" patches I build in any new synthesis platform Im in. i'm interested in the buffer delayĢ important additions that you need in that regard, imo, are the Piz MIDI plugins and Cockos ReaJS (the rest of the reaplugs don't hurt either)īoth basically beef up the already stellar midi mangling capabilities of bidule This is running in standalone mode, for audio stuff i'll use it as vst. as such it's been super stable and behaved well. i'm most interested in the midi capabilities. the cool thing is that you can have both going at the same time. the arpeggiator in particular is nuts - it was an accidental discovery, too, as i was trying to implement a monome MLR style mode. it should be host independent and will work really well with an MPC. Finally, there energyXT, modular sequencer that allows great flexibility in how modules are connected, but does not define modules with mathematical functions, spectral, etc.Care to share what you've done? i hope to release my launchpad patch for people when i'm done with it. For the live plant appears to be as widely used. Last point: If you prefer a less rich tool in low-level functions, take Audiomulch, which is just as well. In short, it's about the ultimate tool for sound design for me. Īnd I have not mentioned the spectral functions, the fun effects, etc. Modules of the community can be directly retrieved on the Internet via an application menu: here is an intelligent. ![]() I have very little time right now, and with Bidule, I immediately "inside".įinally, you can develop your own modules with an SDK, I am not yet gone to see. The tool is not cut off from the composition process is almost instrumental performance as it is pleasant to use (not like Max. And that's exactly what I wanted.Īnd then there's stuff quite lethal: the GUI, nice, spontaneous and clear. With Bidule, you have a tool that is not really oriented synthesis (at least, less powerful that side as SuperCollider), but the ultimate processing chain. with the routing matrix).īefore deciding to dedicate myself to Thing, I just tried SuperCollider, CSound, Chuck, and I heard a lot of Max / MSP and Pure Data (but my tests do not exceed the 10 page manual. Also, gadget comes in a plug-in version, simply import it like a beast vst in your preferred host (for my part, Tracktion: Rack Filter function allows an even greater modularity! EDIT: now I REAPER'm pretty. The problem with such tools is that it is not for the composition (as an activity of sounds available in time), but to search audio (and possibly music, with stochastic generators MIDI & co). Importing external elements VST / VSTi is very well screwed. You can produce and process MIDI and Audio. This stuff is cut for the live!īidule is a modular graph GP. Otherwise, no crash ever, even with complex and bcp patch of VST / VSTi external. However, again, the graphic representation of the module allows you to see who does what and then to refine the best patch to work. Therefore impossible to say whether more or less greedy when making calculations with the proposed modules. I never did test performance compared with its competitors (Max / MSP, Pure Data, etc.). I even tend to think that it is highly educational to teach computer music. The advantage of modular graphical representation is that we see at once what hardware inputs (audio and MIDI) are used. The setup menus look like what is found in all soft computer music is not rocket science. Nothing to say about the installation, this app is lightweight, easy to deploy. ![]()
