I finally got round to finishing part 3 of the Bidule synth building tutorials.
You can read it right here
Now I need to think of ideas for some more. Any suggestions are welcome. (FM, sample playing / manipulation, control logic….anything..)

Hello,
Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your efforts. The lack of serious documentation was always the weakest link in Bidule.
Would you consider making the entire tutorial i.e. Parts 1 – 3; available as a PDF file ? I attempted to print part 3, but after previewing and noting the inappropriate page breaks, decided against it.
In any case, thanks again for all of your efforts.

Wow, your username is Choronzon? I jus’ HAVE to know the story behind that as a peek at the abovely-mentioned website shall show. I am something of a ‘high priestess’ of that entity, and work in a music-project named after it.
Weird coinky-dink: I just yesterday obtained my first copy of Bidule and have been vexed by it, fiddling with it, trying to get the danged thing to work. It did make some noise, I got it to run a few VSTs but could not figure out how to sequence anything. I usually work with Ableton Live and Tunafish (amazing little programme that does so much more than you’d think from the size.)
I will have to check out your documentation on the Plogue stuff, it looks interesting. Another really vexing programme is Reactor. Ever messed with that?
Please send me a line sometime, I got to know what that name’s use is based on. 🙂

thanks for the tutorials, now i would like to see a tutorial on how to do some crazy stuff with the ‘spectral’ bidules
thanks for the bidule tutorials. I’m curiously waiting the new parts like FFT and sample manipulation
with live buffer, midi modulation possibilities etc…
Your suggestions of a tutorial on sample manipulation is good, and I am not even sure what would be involved what a control logic tutorial would involve, so actually I would really like to see that as well. dub303’s suggestion of some Spectral stuff would also be great. I have wanted to find info on some things that could be done with the math functions, I am slowly throwing some in too see how things turn out, but it would be so nice to know enough to have an idea of what I wanted to do and have some idea of how to do it. Right now I am coming up with some things I like, but it is not very efficient and I tend to have to just save sounds in hopes of building songs around them. I would love to have enough knowledge to build sounds around songs instead. Bidule is a great product, but descriptions of the bidules are so short and if you aren’t sure how to apply them, there isn’t anywhere I’ve found to learn more. I wish I would have paid more attention in math classes. It’s biting me now. Your help is appreciated. This is the last place I’d expect to run into Crowley and Enochian references.
