PdVst

PdVst is a software system that allows Pd (Pure Data) patches to run as VST plugins.

PdVst consists of two main parts, a VST plugin and a custom version of Pd. When a PdVst plugin is opened by the host application, a setup file is read to determine information about the plugin, such as the Pd patch file to use, the number of parameters, etc., and the custom version of Pd is started and opens the Pd patch file whose name was found in the setup file.
