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

[Rua Haszard Morris]

That's a great tip, I have a huge stack of plugins in my path, and of course I only really want to use a few...

thanks for the help
Rua HM.

If both dssi~ and plugin~ are crashing, I'm guessing that you have a buggy plugin in your path. Of course they shouldn't crash, but should handle this gracefully...

Someone reported that sine.so crashes dssi~, so you might want to try removing that. Otherwise you could try starting with an empty plugin path and adding plugins one-by-one until you get the crash.

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.
