i don't know.

miller said he plans to implement native state saving in pd though, which would be a big bonus.

Hey spacedad, currently there's PdVst (http://crca.ucsd.edu/~jsarlo/pdvst/) which allows you to load your pd patches as a vst in the host of your liking. I tried it once and got it working in flstudio. However, there's a lot of parameter passing and converting. Besides that you also had to use GrIPD, which i don't really like, so i abandonned it. Maybe you'll like it?

Good luck,

Domien

hi domien,
yes i have tried pdvst,sorry i should have mentioned it.
i did get it working in energyXT after a bit of a struggle,tried a couple of synth examples out,worked fine,though i couldn't save presets unless the synth had built in patch system.
pdvst was what got me to try pd really,i'm hoping to get my own creations working, once i get past the basics.
still,save as vst would be nice as it allows you to share your creations further afield.
not really sure why gripd isn't good,i've not got as far as gui's yet and the synth i tried didn't have one anyway.
