pdvst
a couple years ago i played around with pdvst, it was cool but i didn't have much use for it at the time.
now i'm tinkering with the idea of using it along with ableton to get some realtime visuals controlled with ableton (at least until max4live comes out, the "duke nukem forever" of modular dsp software).
however it appears it hasn't been updated since 2004. does anyone know of either some other plugin or where i can find an updated version?
also i should mention i only ask because this 2004 version won't seem to load in ableton for me, i have the folder/dll in my VST folder but it doesn't show up. i haven't tested it in other hosts but without it working in ableton it's pretty useless for me.

I have no idea sorry, but I would have thought that development wouldn't have stopped. I presume that you tried to contact the author?

will that spell the end of Pd for you? ;)

Well, once Miller gets the [pd~] for Max object working right, it won't have to. You'll be able to run Pd within Max4Live. And Csound and Supercollider, too. Of course, it'd be nice if you didn't have to pay extra to use free software ;-).

tell me about it - id have to upgrade to v.8 AND buy the add on MAx for Live. Propietry software gets you by the bojangels. They always find ways of leveraging cash from ya!
Wouldn't it be cool if there was a PDau?! (I've said this numerous times before and responses seem to go quiet!) Thing is, its kind of hard to wish for something in the Open source world without feeling like a lazy tosspot. I think the expectation is that if you want something, go make it. I just dont have the know how :-/

Yes! Or even at least a PdVST that worked on OSX, for a start.

I know what you mean. Particularly with a creative project like Pd, it seems that open source developers, as good as they are, are more interested in adding features that suit their needs. Since there's no monetary incentive to add features that typical users want, there's less of a desire to add those features if they aren't personally useful. And then there's guys like Hans who do seem interested in making Pd more usable but also have a never-ending todo list anyway.
I'm currently trying to learn a little audio programming so I can do some of those things myself (and make my resume a little heavier), though right now I can't do much more than a sine wave :-). So PdAU in my very...very distant future? ;-p
