Hi,
I would like to share my plugin : Camomile.
Camomile is a dynamic plugin made with Juce that allows to load and control Pure Data patches inside a digital audio workstation.

Feature :

• Support for multiple plugin instances.
• Automatic creation of GUIs (toggle, slider and numbox) toggle, slider, radio, comment, numbox
• Automatic recognition of parameters (name, label, range, minimum, maximum, etc.)
• Up to 8 channels 16 channels
• Up to 32 parameters 64 parameters
• Support for MIDI in and out
• Support for play head position
• Support for BPM

This is a beta version, only available for Mac, but
The last version release is available for Linux, Mac and Windows.
I'll be happy to receive your feedback.
Further information on the wiki.
Cheers

@jamiebullock My mistake, in fact it's not lock-free it can be only thread safe. This is due to the clocks that can be created on fly (the pipe object for example) and it seems that the sequential aspect of PD leads the developers to avoid the question of a potential concurrency during the DSP. Anyway I think that some stuff can be improved to allow parallel processing for some part of the code, I will submit proposals to Miller on Sourceforge. I already did it last summer but I didn't take into account some practises (https://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/patches/559/) but I've other ideas that can be pertinent... I think.

Looks pretty cool!

Does everything have to be in the one patch? As in, can't call another patch in same folder? As that didn't work on quick test last night.

Any issues running multiple Camomile VSTs?

@donnerbono Thanks ! No, you should be able to have abstractions but I guess you're on Windows and I didn't enable this feature on this system. This should be available in the next release.

I have not received any report on an issue related to the multiple instances. I do most of my tests on Reaper that has a very complex/strange way to manage plugins in parallel and it seems to work pretty well. But if you encounter one, fell free to tell me, this will be very useful.

How's Camomile's wrapper for PD different from libpd?

I.e. would it be feasible to use Camomile like libpd (as a "sound engine")? With some adaptation?

@mviljamaa Hi, the main difference is that I use the struct "t_pdinstance" that allows to manage several instances of PD and I manage thread safety. But I would prefer to use libPD if I could. I planned to submit updates and patches to libPD and Pure Data but some stuff need to be discussed with the devs before and I'm running out of time for the moment. You can have a look here : https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile/tree/v0.0.7-reformat/Source/Pd, the functions are documented. z_pd is the equivalent to z_libpd. The c++ wrapper isn't very generic but you can also have a look. I can explain how to use it if you want. Nevertheless, as I said, I think that integrating the multiple instances system to libPD would be a much better solution. Camomile is a plugin and not a library like libPD, you can use it and adapt it but I can't ensure a "customer service" like libPD...

New release 0.0.7 with new features and for Windows, Linux and Mac.
Look at the first post.
Cheers

@Pierre-Guillot Thankyou, this is really great and opens up huge possibilities, I created a pitch shifter (from the Pd browser) for the vst and bingo it works perfectly in Reaper, and settings are saved- Brilliant!!

Great stuff!
Many thanks for this beauty!

Super Super Super!!! Thank You!

great stuff!

is there a way to make [clone] work and to also include non-vanilla libraries?

@t-scale Thanks! Not for the moment but surely in the next release.

sweet! this is opening up tons of new possibilities!
keep up the good work

Super Great WORK! Thank u this is what I was needing for creating a perfect bridge between ableton and PureData WOW

Hi Pierre! any news? development has started again? best!

I'd like to but I really too busy
And perhaps I should wait that Miller updates the multi-instances & multi-threads support.

thanks for the info Pierre! i'll wait!
a.

nice work.

@Pierre-Guillot This is really great, I look forward to the next release. Do you think there is a chance of being able to show and interact with arrays in the future? Thanks.

@weightless I just created an issue for this on github. Perhaps, you could use sliders for the moment.

@Pierre-Guillot Sure, but sometimes it would be nice to be able to see a waveform for example, and of course for interacting with the table as well. Thanks for your effort.
