I am only on mobile right now and travelling so can’t actually test this. But boy is it exciting to see a potential OSS alternative to max4live.

I think Max and m4l are well worth the price if it’s something you do all the time, but as a more casual user something with a lower cost of entry would be highly welcomed.

This is not an alternative to Max4Live. M4L's integration with Live goes way beyond what any JUCE-based plugin is going to be able to do.

This will be handy for some things that overlap with what M4L can do. But there's lots of things people do with M4L in Ableton Live that you will not be able to do with PlugData in any plugin host.

If you're interested in something closer to M4L (having patches in a timeline / more classical DAW), I invite you to check the software I'm developing, https://ossia.io :) also wrote about Pd integration recently: https://periodicos.unespar.edu.br/index.php/vortex/article/v...
