@MarcoDonnarumma Thanks! I did take some inspiration from Max, it was kind of an obvious inspiration to use. Whenever I wasn't sure about GUI behaviour I'd see what Pd does and what Max does, and pick what I like best. In some cases I went for something different, like the sidebar that tries to show the correct panel without having to click anything. A thing that comes from pd is that objects stick to your cursor when created from a menu. It might be nice to create a more unique/pd-like look, but at the same time I'm quite satisfied with most of the UI right now.
Another reason to take inspiration from Max is that the Max user base is big, and not all of them want to use Ableton

Deken support:
Control automation from PlugData, with a button to create the receive object for you:
Object argument suggestion:
Hover messages for inlets/outlets:

@plusch Thanks for trying it out! I'll look into the help files problem, I've heard that ELSE help files are also not being found. I'm aware of the array problem as well. I hadn't tried OSC yet, good to know that it's broken, I'll check it out!

New version is out with many new features and fixes, including a light mode to improve pd compatibility, relative grid, and the latest version of ELSE.

New version out now with support for externals in the standalone. Also, vanilla pd patches should look much better now.

Thanks! You can set up your own keyboard shortcuts in the settings menu, that might help!
Unfortunately there's no way to sync to DAW tempo currently, but I'm planning to add that very soon, as it's obviously needed. Presets are also broken on the releases, it should be fixed if you build from the latest source.
Use [adc~] and [dac~] for audio input/output. You can use things like [dac~ 3] to output on channel 3 if you need to use more channels. Automation is received with [receive param1], where 1 is to be replaced with the parameter number.

I might use single instance for the standalone anyway, it would be really nice to offer support for externals.

@seb-harmonik.ar That might work in some cases, but I think that this will fail if the DAW executes plugins in parallel. Then two threads are accessing the pd patch at the same time, leading to problems.
