Camomile VS yabridge

Camomile is (still) the only thing that will do what you want. https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile

I think the first project of this kind was pdvst~ (https://github.com/jyg/PdVst). A more recent effort is Camomile (https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile).

PlugData seems to be much more extensive and flexible, though!

You can compile to vst with camomile as well, I wanted to mention.

You want Camomile: https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile

I have a different suggestion

you should definitely check Camomile by Pierre Guillot, i managed to run relatively complex patches as audio plugins through it on several DAWs just fine, with midi mapping and preset saving capabilities, however when running my synths as instrument plugins i found a couple of inconsistencies that made them kind of unreliable... i hope it gets better with future updates, if i ever get good at c++ i'd like to help with its development because it truly is an amazing work

There is a project called camomile where you can run a Pd patch as a VST with built in support for building a GUI within the patch and integration with basic DAW stuff like BPM sync.

Camomile - fairly easy way to get Pure Data patches in plugin form; incredible rabbit hole to potentially fall down if you want total control

> To my knowledge all VST plugins can be used on Linux (via Wine). Is that not the case?

Yes, although I would recommend Yabridge rather than linvst.

It should be already packaged in some Linux distros, but building and installation are straightforward. Basically it installs some libraries and an executable which once called will convert a Windows plugin in .dll form in a Linux+WINE loadable .so library.

If you use the Linux port, you may want to use Yabridge to load Windows VSTs in a transparent way.

Look into yabridge. You can test it with your plugins to confirm it'll work. Won't cost you anything.

But yeah Yabridge for me worked the best way. https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge

NAM vst works with Yabridge. You will get native GUI that way. Protesus is a good alternative with native Linux version and it is integrated into BYOD through GuitarML processor. BYOD is the best sounding guitar software (IMHO), Linux or not.
