In this workshop we will learn how to generate and manipulate sound using graphical programming language Plogue Bidule. It is similar to Max/Msp but cheaper and easier to learn. It allows you to visually patch together "objects" in a virtual sound studio and use the resulting patches for music/sound composition or live performance.

The workshop will cover the basics of working with Bidule, including patching, routing, mixing, tone generators and sample players, different kinds of inputs and outputs (audio, MIDI, spectral), making your own objects, and using VST and AU plugins in Bidule. The workshop will be part lecture, part lab with practical examples. Those who bring their Mac or Windows laptop will receive a special demo version of Bidule. Previous sound experience is an asset but not required.

Suggested length of the workshop: 4 hours
