#PLOGUE BIDULE REVIEW SOFTWARE#
#PLOGUE BIDULE REVIEW MAC#

If nothing else, this will hold me over big time until the new Mac Pros and Snow kitty arrive. Once I max out my ram at 8gb, I'll have a lot more room for EXS and other stuff in Logic. My cpu is purring along at about 1/3 on both cores, and this is a G5 PPC 2.3ghz with 4.5 gb of ram. When I select one of the VI's in bidule.pop it opens right up.really quick.Īnd now in Logic, wouldn't you know, everything is crazy snappy as well. Then I loaded up 4 Kontakt-3's with my personal brass setup of one each for Trumpets, Fr Horns, Trb and Low brass.ĭrumroll all worked! Not only did it work it was snappy, everywhere. with Evolve, and a separate Symphobia for WW, Brass and Strings. Then I deleted all of the Kontakts from Logic and setup an 8 port Bidule rewired and loaded that baby up with 4 Kontakt 2 players. Beach ball spinning for several seconds before I could do anything. Then I started adding Kontakt 3 instances and with each instance the responsiveness of everything slowed waaayyyy down. I could change plugins, add buses and sends, re-route the outs and it all worked fine. Not blazing fast but plenty responsive, didn't bother me a bit. With nothing loaded the graphics were very fast.

#PLOGUE BIDULE REVIEW SOFTWARE#

Shame it's necessary to do it this way, but a workaround is better than no workaround.įirst I decided to test Logic 8 with an one ext midi, one software instrument and one audio track. This Bidule takes a little while to setup but the results I'm getting are nothing short of amazing. How do you get the midi rewire bidule to show more than 2 midi busses on the bidule on the top left, and is it possible to have more than 16 rewire audio channels to bring into logic? they are outputting to their own audio channels which you select in an aux channel strip in logic. i had to use a midi splitter in plogue in order to split the midi channels between 3 different instruments as you can see. When you set up those other bidules - bidule 3 and 4 - they turn up as multi instruments (midi) in logics environment and you can add those. you set the midi channel just like you would in logics environment. there fore it will be bus 1 channel 1, for the first patch, bus 1 channel 2, for the next and so on. So for strings, i might have 3 or 4 patches loaded up. To play the midi you need the correct midi rewire bus which you add to arrange. so for strings its rewire 1&2 which you will find in the input slot of an aux object that you set up in logic. In Plogue Bidule, the bottoms of the GUIs were sometimes cut off. The only difference in operation between the versions was the slightly easier access to the complete screens of the interface in AudioMulch. the blue cables going into the bottom rewire bidule plugs you into the respective channel that comes up in logic. For this review I used a Pentium i3 Win 10 machine, running the 64-bit version in Plogue Bidule and the 32-bit version in AudioMulch. i set them up by dragging the relevant au instrument on the left onto the page. The horizontal level starting with 'Strings 2_0' are my kontakt instruments. The bidule rewire could be sent to a midi splitter rather than setting up bidules 3 and 4 - but i wanted to keep my expansion options open.
