About:
PlugData is a plugin wrapper for PureData that allows the open-source visual programming environment to run as a VST3, AU, or LV2 plugin within digital audio workstations. It bridges the gap between standalone patching and professional music production workflows. This enables users to integrate custom audio processing and synthesis directly into their production environment.

Key Features:

VST3, AU, and LV2 plugin format support
Seamless DAW integration for real-time audio processing
Live patching capabilities within the plugin interface
Cross-platform compatibility (macOS, Windows, Linux)

Use Cases:

Integrating custom PureData synthesizers into a DAW
Creating unique audio effects and processors for music production
Developing experimental sound design tools for live performance

Alternatives:

Camomile – Similar plugin wrapper for PureData, but PlugData offers a more modern UI and active development.
