Hi Paul,

Very interesting. Would you mind explaining a little more how you  
manage that without overloading the computer's CPU? If you have 12  
chains with each of them containing maybe a dozen VST plug-ins I  
guess you have set up a way to keep the plug-ins in mute mode except  
for when their parent chain is activated by your food pedal - right?  
Are you stuffing the VST plug-ins together as a Bidule Group and then  
muting and unmuting that group? LIke each "effect chain" equalling a  
Group?

It would be interesting to hear from your experience of how much the  
CPU load goes down when keeping plug-ins loaded but muted. This  
knowledge is kind of essential for those who still consider  
eventually going into Bidule.
