[PD] Google Summer of Code WIKI

[Kyle Klipowicz]

There already is a jack VST and Audio Unit for OSX, that's not the
issue. What I really want is to just be able to run one master app (my
DAW) and have everything else loaded from there, so that I don't have
to do the whole 30 mins of configuring and opening corresponding files
and settings, stored in directories across the computer thing.

It's a pain to have to adjust and load setting after setting when it
could all be saved in a nice project file in a professional sequencer
app. For those of us who like what Pd has to offer as a bus insert or
midi filter or general audio swiss army knife, we don't want to deal
with multiples of files all over the place in different spots, we just
want to have a nice compact project space that contains everything in
an intuitive way, so we can just touch and go, and save everything so
that we can open the project back up again exactly how we left it, all
automation and everything stored in the project.

Managing automation in Pd has not been a quick and dirty thing for me,
and I'd prefer to leave that task to software that I'm comfortable
with. But to have a custom synth or effect or midi chain filter or
integrated graphics show work seamlessly from my DAW once I load one
single project file is the holy grail to me.

Having 5 programs open and trying to wrangle the routing between them
for a half hour to get a song playing is less than ideal. A Pluggo for
Pd would help minimize the time and frustration of this by compressing
it all into one file that references a bank of subordinate plugins.
