Anyone playing live who needs a great host should check this out.
It has routing similar to SFP, meaning that the options are all there.
I recently attached a pedal switch to use as a panic button via the MIDI Solutions FP8, and Digital Music's MX8. Forte does this already. I prefer hardware, but this is hybrid as I use the hardware attached to software.
The app is laid out perfectly for old FAT BASTARDS like me.
The GUI is made of 1U rackmounts and is rock solid so far.
I will continue to use Bidule until I get a better grip w/ Forte, but this is a live players dream.
It reminds me of Scope, the way you can imagine a routing you want, then simply find the linkage, and voila !!
For a half a days pay it can be had.
