Yes, you're right on the point here! I'm almost finished duplicating
my most beloved tc electronic fireworx patches in Bidule by chaining
up VST plug-ins. Not bad at all... I have so far made six multi
effect patches and it seems as the muted chains do not put any
restrain at all on the CPU ;-)
Non sync processes are easy, as are straight synced processes too,
but I have a problem in recreating synced patches that apply some
division of the global tempo. A typical example is a ping-pong delay
that bumps on eight notes with the expression pedal fully up and in
slow triads when the pedal is down. When sweeping the pedal between
these two "synced" postiion the delay length is changed continuously
(or rather in 128 steps which is the resolution of MIDI). Another
typical effect patch I can't do in Bidule is a long reverb run
through a filter with the filter cutoff value jumping up and down in
a synced 32 step sequencer hi hat pattern.
