Hi Kris,

Last time I downloaded Bidule there was a html manual bundled. On my OS 
X version it's inside the application folder, in a folder named "help".

Another method that many laptop musician use, opposed to calling up 
plug-in settings by midi program change,  is to open many instances of 
the plugin on the same audi channel of the host application. Then map 
computer keyboard buttons or foot pedal buttons to mute or un-mute the 
plug-ins. Each instance of the plug-in should of course be pre-loaded 
with a unique patch setting.

Over here I like using Live 4 as the host application. Live has a good 
system of mapping any incoming midi (AND computer keyboard button 
stroke) to both its own parameters as well as any parameter of a 
plug-in. Check the Bidule manual to see if it has something similar!

BTW, I have noticed that every time I answer one of your LD posts, the 
mail is sent to your private address. If you don't like it that way you 
may change this in your e-mail client settings for "auto reply to".
