Like all 3rd party MIDI effects.. You'll need an additional MIDI track.
One that houses the plugin and a second that picks up the signal.
Set the receiving tracks input location to "1 MIDI > mymidiplugin".

Same as any Live VST or AU. Make sure you've got the plug-in version:

As many lfo's as you want on any parameter you want.
Todays example will show you how to send a midi cc signal generated by an lfo to Live.
First start up Live or midi yoke if you're on windoows.
Then open this file in plogue bidule.
http://users.pandora.be/Vayner/dir/---/ ... bidule.zip
It should look like this.
Windows users will have to put a "midi yoke" output where "bidule 1 (out)" is on the picture.
In Live, open up the midi preferences and set Live's remote control to receive the signal coming from bidule 1 or midi yoke.
Now close the preferences menu and click on "learn midi" in Live.
Select an instrument and a parameter you wish to modulate.
The lfo is already running (unless the on/off knob in bidule is switched off) so you will get an assigned parameter as soon as you choose it.

Now leave "midi learn" mode and watch the parameter move
You can adjust the lfo in bidule. By double clicking on the lfo you will bring up it's controls.
You can set up as many lfo's as you like.
And you can record whatever is outputted. And you can control the lfo with your midi controller.
Happy tweaking.
Cheers

what is the point of the parameter modulator and lfo?

I have no answer for that. It's been a long while since i used bidule, perhaps some other bidule user can answer this.
As far as i recall, the parameter modulator can be linked to a specific CC.
In this case, only one CC is used. But more of them can receive the signal of the same LFO.

Sorry about the missing files. Those files were on an old server that is lost now.
I'd make you a new one, but I haven't used bidule in years. I'm using Max/Msp these days.
