Hi everyone,

does anyone here know how to control/host a vst or an audiounit plugin in PD?

Thanks in advance for your help.

@Saynom Hello,
This might help http://www.pdpatchrepo.info/hurleur/vst~.zip but people say that only some plugins work.........
see this thread http://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/4228/how-to-use-vst-in-pd/5
and then google around for more help!
AHH! sorry, not osx......

@whale-av Yea, I saw this but I need something for osx... For vst or au. Is there really nothing I can use on mac?

@Saynom Maybe [plugin~]
http://puredata.info/search?SearchableText=vst
is a list of (maybe the only) possibilities.
There is a discussion on the list suggesting that osx needs an app, and so it can't be done within pd?

@whale-av You're right, I also found somewhere that [plugin~] was able to host VSTs. But there is nothing in PD's help or any documentation. All you can find is LADSPA plugin support informations.

Thanks for the other link even if there is no real solutions there unfortunately...
However I have some of my VSTs which come in standalone form. I wonder if it could be easier to use in PD... But how?
