I missed that one! This was good news! :-)) This means you can include the Virtual Repeater VST in a looping rig you set up in Bidule. Nice. > Definitely nothing about AU though. I don't have a big problem with that because I don't use many VST plug-ins and when I use a Mac I can mix VST and AU in the same Bidule setup. I have already done my homework to test out and finding a couple of correctly coded VST2.0 plug-ins that I can rely on. Another cool thing I've heard, that I yet have to test myself, is that on a Mac you can save a Bidule set-up, including VST plug-ins, as a Group that work fine in the AU plug-in version of Bidule (Bidule AU is only available to "Early Bird license" owners). Even though this Bidule AU setup runs VST plug-ins you can load the AU into an AU host that normally would not load VST plug-ins. This looks like a good strategy for running the Virtual Repeater inside the AU host Numerology. This will give you all the good stuff in modular sequencing combined with time-stretch compatible audio looping. You will be able to send sequences of commands to the looper and even keep those commands quantized to a Groove Template Clock that itself can be instantly adjusted (while you perform) from a MIDI expression pedal etc. One of the classic key element production tools in electronic dance music finally made available for audio looping.
