Bidule: The new standard in modular audio software
Is this a familiar picture? Cables lead from a microphone input into a
small digital effect. More cables connect the effect to a mixer. Elsewhere, a
MIDI cable links a MIDI input to a synthesizer, which is in turn connected to
a mixer. Old hat, right? Now, imagine this: the same single output socket
sprouting no less than eight different cables connecting eight different
effects.
It gets better: A sound is broken down into 256 individual bands, then each
is tweaked one at a time in a unique way. As he performs, a musician decides
to add an LFO to a synth.fs filter cutoff knob, where no LFO existed before.
Sound crazy? Not anymore. 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...
