OwlPlug VS Camomile

Honestly I am blown away at the quality and a few of them have made pretty permanent editions in my stack. Also somehow from that website I went down a little rabbit hole and found this software I think someone here on Reddit made called OwlPlug, and its basically a little appstore for free VST/CLAP plugins and you can add repositories to it as JSON files and have a little managed place to install/update free plugins: https://owlplug.com/

There's also a tool called OwlPlug: https://github.com/DropSnorz/OwlPlug

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.

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
