Today, Bidule reached it’s original target of shortening the learning curve while doing more.

Because that application did not exist, they started doing it by themselves… from scratch!Īs silly as their new project, they even called it ‘Bidule’, a french slang term for thingy! What was first a part-time project grew up into a day and night dedication! They thought that the perfect modular host would be instantly fun to play with and easy to learn while at the same time also allowing the hardcore users to delve into some lower-level objects. While experimenting with VST plug-ins, the Plogue duo saw a real challenge to improve the hosts and modular audio environments available at the time. Both were featured by the Electronic Musician magazine in their “Website of the month” article about Plogue. A Quebec Anglicism/slang word for plug came up and so Plogue was born in 2000. An entity was needed for releasing the first plug-in “Rebuilder”. The First VST Plug-insĪfter getting their degree from University of Montreal in Computer Science, they started coding their own VST plug-ins to add new virtual toys to complement their experimentation with hardware. They were also making some IDM/minimal DJ performances under the name while(1)fork() at Bily Kun, then one of the well known addresses of Montreal’s electronic scene. It all started during the 90′s when David Viens and Sébastien Beaulieu were hacking sounds from all kinds of rare and gloomy gear. So far Plogue’s technology can be found in various products from:

chipsynth suite: PortaFM, MD, OPS7, SFC.
