[PD] vst~ for OSX, any update?

[Miller Puckette]

Hi all -

I tried to do this a while back but found out that on Mac you have to structure
a program as an "app" (which entails using Apple's event loop instead of your
own scheduler).  I couldn't see any reasonable way to get Pd working that
way, and eventually gave up.

My workaround was to use another application to show the GUI, learned the
controls and found reasonable settings, and then used the plug-in in Pd with
no GUI.

By the way, at the time there seemed to be NO open-source program for Macintosh
that could host plug-ins.  I ended up using Max :)

I would really like to use some simple vst~ plugins with GUIs inside of Pd, but i cannot seem to get the GUI window to pop up still. Pd sees all the information, ins/outs and methods but cannot display the GUI interface so it seems. I am building and extension to the Console abstraction Leonard made some years ago and i would like it to have interchangeable vsts for REVERB/DELAY/FILTER AND a wildcard effect.
