I might have misread, but if you’re getting conflicts between native EW Keyswitches and doing Bidule Key_Switching channel bounces… What it seems could be happening, is that you might be mixing an EW instrument that has built in key switching, with a channel hop to a non KS instrument in the same plugin? Just thought I’d plug Bidule here! Brian is the real expert, he’s been using it for a long time (apparently), I would bug him if you’ve got questions.
#PLOGUE BIDULE PLUGIN SWITCHER SOFTWARE#
I’ve just begun playing around with Bidule, but I can definitely see this opening up a world of playback possibilities, and taking away a lot of the typical hurt involved in getting notation software to sound off the way I really like. So, I’m telling the information coming from Dorico, “if there’s a G7 (note 91) keyswitch, then change the MIDI to channel 4.” Naturally, channel 4 happens to be the channel to which I’ve assigned the col legno battuto sample in EastWest Play. If I double-click it, I see these controls: The Key Switch node is where the magic happens. That’s the simplest set-up that I could devise I could do a whole hell of a lot more with that, if I liked. So, the audio information moves from Dorico, to a Key Switch node, to the EastWest Play plug-in, and finally back to Dorico. With Bidule, I simply set up a DAG that looks like this: Since I wouldn’t want to make a mess of the score in doing so, this would be no minor feat. Normally, I would proceed to implement playback hackery:smiling_imp: to get the audio right whenever the score called for col legno battuto on the staff. This set doesn’t include a col legno battuto sample, so I’m forced to dedicate a channel to that sample (which is, of course, available as its own instrument, rather than part of a keyswitch-able set). Just as an example of what it does, I have a keyswitch-able sample set loaded into one of my MIDI channels in EastWest Play.

#PLOGUE BIDULE PLUGIN SWITCHER PROFESSIONAL#
I figure many professional users are well familiar with this tool, but I don’t see a thread in this forum that’s dedicated to it, and I think it’s worth it to bring it to the attention of playback junkies like myself who might not have heard of it.īasically, it’s a way to take the information coming out of Dorico (or any other notation application that supports VST/VSTi plug-ins), pipe it through a network of specialized nodes, and then send the end result back to Dorico (or straight to your audio-out device) for playback. Plogue Bidule v0.9767 WiN v0.User Brian Roland has turned me onto Bidule, which is basically an application that allows a user to set up a directed acyclic graph of processors (mostly, but not limited to, digital audio). – Realtime Audio/MIDI/Spectral processing Bidule 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. 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.
