[PD] use LADSPA plugins under Mac OS X (pd-extended, plugin~)

[Rua Haszard Morris]

Thanks, I forgot about dssi~. I'll give it a go.

What's the story behind the "postlude" edition?!

thanks
Rua HM.

Hi Rua,

Have you tried using dssi~? It can host LADSPA and DSSI plugins as well as multiple instances of the same plugin. It's available in svn or (for ease of use) in the Pd-extended 'postlude' edition:

The particular plugin is the SWH comb filter (http://plugin.org.uk/ladspa-swh/docs/ladspa-swh.html). The problem is I get no sound out of the output of plugin~.

So if anyone can give me an example of how to do this I'd _really_ appreciate it.
