    Hey thanks DG. Do you know if plogue bidule can handle this task as good as vienna ensemble pro? Jon

     To use Bidule, you will also need:

    1. MIDI interfaces on both computers, or MOL
    2. Audio interfaces on both computers with enough I/O for the number of audio channels that you want to output.

    I would test out VE Pro first, as it's a much cheaper option, even when you take the dongles into account.
