About:
Plugdata is a plugin wrapper for PureData that allows users to run Pd patches as VST3, AU, and LV2 plugins within any compatible digital audio workstation. It provides a modern, skinnable interface and bridges the gap between standalone Pd environments and professional music production software. This enables seamless integration of custom signal processing and synthesis patches into standard studio workflows.
Key Features:
  • VST3, AU, and LV2 plugin format support
  • Modern, customizable user interface with themes
  • Seamless integration with major DAWs
  • Live patching and editing capabilities
Use Cases:
  • Integrating PureData synthesis and effects into a DAW
  • Creating custom software instruments and audio processors
  • Live performance with modular audio patches
Alternatives:
  • Camomile – Similar plugin wrapper for PureData, but plugdata offers a more modern UI and active development.
  • Pd~ object in Max/MSP – Max/MSP's built-in Pd integration, but requires the commercial Max ecosystem.
